Question

While at the beach, Sam and Sal recorded the temperatures on land and at sea. They discovered that at night the ocean air temperature was higher than the temperature over land. During the night, which direction will the wind MOST LIKELY blow?

Answer 1

If the air over the ocean is warmer than the air over the land,
the air over the ocean will rise, and the air from the land will
slip in under it. 

The wind will blow FROM the land out TO the ocean.

Answer 2

Answer: From land towards sea

Explanation:

Land breeze occurs at night in coastal regions. At night, the land cools down faster a compared to water in the sea. Thus, the air above the sea is less dense and thus, has low air pressure as compared to air over land. Thus, the wind would blow from land towards sea during night. This is known as land breeze.
