Answer: Sea breezes occur during hot, summer days because of the unequal heating rates of land and water. During the day, the land surface heats up faster than the water surface. Therefore, the air above the land is warmer than the air above the ocean. ... Therefore, the warmer air over the land surface is rising.
Explanation: Breezes are the result of differences in air temperature. Warm air rises, leaving behind low pressure near the ground. Cold air creates high pressure and sinks to compensate; wind then blows from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure to try to equalize pressures.
