    Sea Breeze and Land Breeze

    A season is a division of the year based on changes in weather, ecology, and daylight hours in a region. Seasons on Earth result from its tilted orbit around the Sun. A sea breeze occurs when air blows from a large body of water onto land during the day, as the land heats up faster than the sea. At night, a land breeze develops as the land cools faster than the sea, causing air to blow from the land onto the water. Land and sea breezes alternate daily and influence coastal humidity, temperature, fog and precipitation.

    “SEASONS”

    What is a season?
    A Season is a division of the year, Based on
    changes in weather, ecology, and the
    number of daylight hours in a given region.
    On-earth seasons result from the axial
    parallelism of Earth's tilted orbit around
    the Sun.
    SEA BREEZE
    AND
    LAND BREEZE
    SEA BREEZE
    A sea breeze or onshore
    breeze is any wind that
    blows from a large body of
    water toward or onto a
    landmass; it develops due
    to differences in air
    pressure created by the
    differing heat capacities of
    water and dry land. As
    such, sea breezes are more
    localized than prevailing
    winds.
    • sea breeze, a local wind system characterized
    by a flow from sea to land during the day. Sea
    breezes alternate with land breezes along the
    coastal regions of oceans or large lakes in the
    absence of a strong large-scale wind system
    during periods of strong daytime heating or
    nighttime cooling.
    “Facts”

    usually 5-15 miles per hour, iodine, salt, and magnesium,
    but some hilly coastlines which can help with asthma

    - As the warm air over
    the land is rising, the
    cooler air over the
    ocean is flowing over
    the land surface to
    replace the rising warm
    air. This is the sea
    breeze and can be seen
    at the top of the
    following image.
    LAND BREEZE
    “Land Breeze”
    - land breeze, a local wind
    system characterized by a
    flow from land to water
    late at night. Land breezes
    alternate with sea breezes
    along coastlines adjacent
    to large bodies of water.
    Both are induced by
    differences that occur
    between the heating or
    cooling of the water
    surface and the adjacent
    land surface.
    “Facts”
    • The land breeze can act as an • Since the air over land cools

    convergence and offshore
    cool-air transportation jointly
    by the descending branch and
    low-level breeze of the land
    breeze circulation.
    - Land breeze usually
    occurs during the evening
    and the nighttime. Due to
    the uneven heating and
    cooling of the sea and the
    land, the sea warms up
    and cools down late as
    compared to the land. A
    low-pressure area
    develops over the sea
    during evening and night,
    pulling the cool air from
    the land.
    “How does a land breeze affect the
    environment?”
    • In general, land breezes and sea breezes result in elevated
    humidity levels, high precipitation, and temperature
    moderation in coastal areas. See also Atmospheric
    circulation; Atmospheric pressure; Atmospheric
    temperature; Clouds; Solar illumination: Seasonal and
    diurnal patterns; Weather forecasting.
