the hot air in coastal areas is lighter than the cooler air .so the hot air moves up and their place is taken by the cold air. this cause land wnd sea breeze.
Answer:
During the day, the sun heats up both the ocean surface and the land. ... The wind will blow from the higher pressure over the water to lower pressure over the land causing the sea breeze. The sea breeze strength will vary depending on the temperature difference between the land and the ocean. At night, the roles reverse.
Land and sea breezes develop because of differential heating and cooling of adjacent land and water surfaces. Water has a greater heat capacity than land, i.e. land absorbs and emits radiation more efficiently and faster. ... The inland-moving sea breeze causes a decrease in temperature and a rise in humidity.
