Question

What are land breezes? How are they caused?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The air over the ocean is now warmer than the air over the land. The land loses heat quickly after the sun goes down and the air above it cools too. ... This causes a small temperature gradient between the ocean surface and the nearby land at night and the wind will blow from the land to the ocean creating the land breeze.
