Answer:
Land breeze blows during the night because ..
》Land when compared to water gains or loses heat more rapidly. Hence
during the night the land cools faster than water which leads to a decrease in
temperature in the land resulting in high pressure on the land. But the low
pressure on the sea attracts the air which gives rise to land breeze at nights.

The leeward side of the mountains is the rainshadow area
because ..
》The clouds first rise up the windward side and during this time all the
moisture is stripped off. By the time they reach the summit they'll be left with
less moisture content, leaving the leeward side dry and rainshadowed.
