A sea breeze occurs due to the differential heating of land and water. During the day, the land heats up faster than the sea because it has a lower heat capacity. As the land surface temperature rises, the air above it also warms up and becomes less dense, creating a low-pressure area. In contrast, the sea remains cooler, and the air above it remains denser, creating a high-pressure area.This difference in air pressure causes the cooler, denser air from the sea to flow towards the warmer, less dense air over the land. This movement of air from the sea to the land is what we call a sea breeze. The sea breeze typically peaks in intensity during the afternoon when the temperature difference between the land and sea is at its maximum.The process can be summarized as follows:
Heating of Land: The land heats up quickly under the sun, warming the air above it.
Rising Air: The warm air over the land rises, creating a low-pressure area.
Preview
Cool Air Movement: Cooler, denser air from the sea moves inland to replace the rising warm air.
