Answer:
During the day, air above the land heats up faster than air over water. Warm air over land expands and rises, and heavier, cooler air rushes in to take its place, creating wind. At night, the winds are reversed because air cools more rapidly over land than it does over water.

Water-pumping windmills were once used throughout the United States and some still operate on farms and ranches, mainly to supply water for livestock.
