Detailed Solution

In winter, the winds flow from the land to the ocean.
Moving air is called wind. Air moves from a region of high pressure to a region of low pressure. Wind currents are generated due to uneven heating on the earth. During winters, the sea is warmer than the land. The land loses heat quickly in winter, causing a temperature difference between land and ocean. This causes the air over the water to become warmer and rise. As a result, cooler air from the land moves towards the ocean to take its place.
