LAND AND SEA BREEZE
MADE BY CHAMPA
DEFINITIONS
• THE WIND THAT BLOWS FROM
SEA TO LAND IS CALLED THE SEA
BREEZE OR ON SHORE WIND.THIS
WIND BLOWS DURING THE DAY
TIME.
• HOT AIR ON THE LAND RISES UP
AND COOL AIR FROM THE SEA
TAKES ITS PLACE.
SEA BREEZE
During the day, the land warms up
faster than the water.
The warm air over the land rises,
while the cooler air over the water
sinks down and moves in to
replace the warm air.
LAND BREEZE
• THE WIND THAT BLOWS FROM
LAND TO SEA IS CALLED THE
LAND BREEZE OR THE OFF SHORE
WINDS.THIS WINDS BLOW DURING
THE NIGHT.
• HOT AIR OVER THE SEA RISES UP
AND COOL AIR FROM THE LAND
TAKES ITS PLACE.
LAND BREEZE
At night, dry land cools faster than
water, due to the water’s large
specific heat capacity.
Since the land cools faster than the
water, the air above the water is now
warmer and less dense than the air
above the dry land.
