Answer:
Sea Breeze and Land Breeze
The land gets heated up by the heat radiated by the sun, much faster than the water during daytime. This heats up the air over the land and it expands and hence the hot air rises up and creates a vacuum. The cool air from the sea occupies the space left by the hot air. The warm air from the land moves towards the sea to complete the cycle. The air from the sea is called the sea breeze.
But the reverse process takes place at night. The land cools down quickly and sea water remains hot. This heats up the air over the sea and it expands and hence the hot air rises up and creates a vacuum. The cool air from the land occupies the space left by the hot air. And hence the cool air moves from the land to the sea and is known as the land breeze.
