Gentle wind is called breeze. The people living in coastal areas ( sea side areas ) experience in interesting phenomenon called sea- breeze and land- breeze which are based on the transfer of heat in air by convection currents.
Sea-breeze
During day time, when the sun shines, the solid land gets heated to a higher temperature much more quickly than the liquid sea-water. The hot air over the land rises upwards and cooler air from over the sea moves towards the land in the form of cool breeze. The breeze blowing from the sea towards the land is called sea-breeze.
Land-breeze
At night time, the hot land cools much faster than the warm sea-water. Due to this, the land becomes cool very quickly but the sea-water remains warm for a much longer time. So, during night, the hot air over the warm sea rises upwards and cooler air from the land blows in towards the sea in the form of a breeze. The breeze blowing from the land towards the sea is called land-breeze.
Hope it helps you dear.....
