Question

Land and Sea breezes are happening due to ______________.
A. Temperature variations in summer and winter
B. Differential heating between land and sea
C. Convergence of warm and cold currents
D. None of these

Answer 1

Hint: Sea and Land Breezes both are describing the wind which blows onshore from the sea towards the land. It is happening during the day and then blows offshore in the evening. During the summer, the sea breezes are stronger in comparison to winter.

Complete answer:
Land and Sea breezes, both are basically caused by the differential heating between the land and sea. During the day time, the wind will blow from the high-pressure area over the water to the lower pressure over the land. And hence it is causing the sea breeze. The sea breeze strength is varying based on the temperature difference between the land and sea.
During night time, the roles are reversed. The air over the sea is warmer than the air over the land at this time. Therefore, the pressure over water is low and high on land. Also, we have a land breeze blowing from land to sea.

Additional Information:
We all have felt the breeze in our surrounding areas. Breeze is mainly referred to as gentle strength. These winds are categorized as Sea Breeze and Land Breeze. Both of these breezes are occurring near the huge water bodies.

Hence, the correct answer is option B.

Note:
Land breezes usually blow through the dry winds. While the sea breeze contains the moisture more due to the particles absorbed from such water bodies. Therefore, both breezes occur near water bodies. Thus, these are the main differences between the land breeze and sea breeze.
