Breezy Breezes: Understanding Sea and Land Breezes and Monsoons

Final Answer:
A sea breeze happens during the day when the land heats up faster than the ocean. The warm air over the land rises, and cooler air from the ocean moves in to take its place — that’s the breeze you feel. A land breeze happens at night when the land cools down faster than the ocean. The cool air over the land sinks and moves toward the ocean, pushing warmer air up. A monsoon is a seasonal wind that brings heavy rain, usually in summer, because warm, moist air from the ocean blows over land.
