Answer:
Explanation:
As the temperature of the surface of the land rises, the land heats the air above it by convection. The warming air expands and becomes less dense, decreasing the pressure over the land near the coast. ... The strength of the sea breeze is directly proportional to the temperature difference between the land and the sea.

Answer:
A sea breeze or onshore breeze is any wind that blows from a large body of water toward or onto a landmass; it develops due to differences in air pressure created by the differing heat capacities of water and dry land. ... Sea breezes and land breezes are both important factors in coastal regions' prevailing winds.
