Describe how sea breezes and land breezes occur over a 24 hour cycle
Answer: high heat capacity drives this: during the day, the sun warms the land faster than the sea, so that air rises, but the cooler air over the ocean descends and flows offshore, creating a seabreeze. at night, the land cools faster than the ocean, making the air fall and flow offshore, where the air is heated by the ocean and it rises.
