From the ocean to the land

Detailed explanation-1: -Recall that the land surface cools quicker than the water surface at night. Therefore, the warmer air over the ocean is buoyant and is rising. The denser cool air over the land is flowing offshore to replenish the buoyant warm air and is called a land breeze.
Detailed explanation-2: -Gases move from high-pressure areas to low-pressure areas. And the bigger the difference between the pressures, the faster the air will move from the high to the low pressure. That rush of air is the wind we experience.
Detailed explanation-3: -The air from the land towards the sea is called land breeze.
Detailed explanation-4: -During night, the land gets cooled down quicker as compared to the sea. The air above the sea is thus hotter than the air above the land. This air rises up and is replaced from the relatively cooler air from the land in the form of Land breeze.
Detailed explanation-5: -The wind blowing from land towards the sea is Land breeze. The wind blowing from the sea towards the land is Sea breeze. It occurs during the nights or early mornings. It occurs during the day.
