Question

Distinguish between Land breeze and sea breeze.

Answer 1

S.No.	Land Breeze	Sea Breeze
(i)	During the night the land cools more rapidly than the ocean. Cool air sinks and forms high pressure.	During the day the land masses get heated more rapidly than the oceans.
(ii)	The wind blows from land to sea during the night is called land breeze.	Heated air ascends and this causes low pressure on the adjoining ocean, therefore the wind blows from ocean to land in the afternoon. This is called sea breeze.
