Hint:
1) The phenomenon that causes breeze to occur is convection.
2) Breeze are various types-Wind, Sea breeze, Land breeze, valley breeze, Sea and land breeze, Mountain breeze and Glacier breeze.


Complete answer:
Land and sea breezes are caused by temperature variations between land and water bodies. The movement of wind from land to sea is known as land breeze, while the movement of wind from sea to land is known as sea breeze. Formation of Land and Sea Breeze. Land heats and cools more quickly than water.
Sea Breeze- a breeze blowing towards the land from the sea, especially during the day owing to the relative warmth of the land.
Land Breeze- a breeze blowing towards the sea from the land, especially at night, owing to the relative warmth of the sea.

Difference between Land and Sea breeze-

FACTORS	LAND BREEZE	SEA BREEZE
Time	Land breeze occurs during the nights and early morning.	The sea breeze occurs in the day.
Season	Land breeze occurs during the winter and autumn.	The sea breeze occurs during spring and summer.
Depth	Land breeze is shallow.	Shallow as compared to that of sea breeze.
Speed	The speed of land breeze ranges from 5-8 knots.	10-20 knots for sea breeze.
Temperature	Land breeze, the temperature remains the same.	For sea breeze it tends to decrease.

Note:
- Both a land breeze and a sea breeze can be observed along the coast, and both have an effect on humidity levels, air temperature, and precipitation rates. Land breezes are usually slower and weaker than sea breezes.
- Because of the breeze, the temperature in areas near the sea or along the coast is relatively constant. Inland areas, on the other hand, experience a significant shift in temperature.
