During the day , the land gets hotter faster, and the hot air rises, creating an area of lower pressure. Wind blows from the sea to the land. This is a sea breeze . At night , the land cools off faster than the sea. Cooler air descends creating an area of higher pressure.
Wind blows from the land to the sea.
This is a land breeze . Much of the solar energy that the earth receives causes intense heating in the equatorial regions. This intense heat produces powerful convection in these areas. As the warm, moist air rises, it creates a zone of low pressure, clouds, and precipitation along the equator. As that warm air rises, it eventually reaches the troposphere and can rise no higher.
