Detailed Solution

In coastal areas, cold air flows during the day from sea to land is called sea breeze.
The blowing breeze from the sea towards land during the day is called a sea breeze. They are formed during the daytime when land and sea are heated equally by the sun, but the land has a very low specific heat capacity compared to the sea, so it is heated up more quickly. Thus air above land becomes lighter and rises. Thus pressure decreases, and cold and humid air above the sea blows toward land. In the coastal area, the air gets heated quickly in land areas compared to sea areas, and due to temperature changes, cold air flows from sea to land, known as a sea breeze.
