Specific heat differences between the land and ocean results in land and sea breeze occurring.
The ocean has a higher specific heat capacity. This implies that it requires more heat to cause an increase in temperature of a water body. In like manner, water loses heat very slowly.
The land has a low specific heat and it loses and gains heat faster.
During the day, air around the land area is warmer compared to that of the ocean.
The movement of air from the ocean to the land during the day is called the sea breeze.
The reverse process occurs in the night to form land breeze
