Q

Land Breeze

A

Wind Blows land to sea>formed by difference in air pressure due to diff rates at which land and water bodies cool> land cools down faster than water at night>sea has higher temp, lower air pressure than land>air moves from an area of higher pressure to lower pressure> forms land breeze that blows land to sea at night.
