The rate of warming or cooling differs between land and water. In coastal places, breezes are created by the difference in temperature between the land and the water. The effect can be elaborated as Land and Sea Breeze
- Sea Breeze-The entire day is dedicated to this process. The sun heats the surface of the sea and the land. Due to its significantly higher heat capacity, the water warms up more slowly than the land.
- As a result, the temperature above the land surface rises, which in turn warms the air around it. Less dense warm air expands, and a low-pressure area forms over the land as a result.
- A high-pressure area forms at the same moment on the surface of the water. The air moves from the high pressure over the sea to the low pressure over the land as a result of the difference in pressure. The name "sea breeze" refers to this airflow from the sea to the land.
- Land Breeze-Throughout the night, this procedure continues, and the previous one is then reversed. When the sun sets, both the land and the sea start to cool itself.
Because land can hold more heat than water, it cools down more quickly. As a result of the sea's higher warmth than the land, a low-pressure area forms over the water. This causes air to move from the land to the sea, giving rise to the land breeze.
