a land breeze will form because the land will be cooler than the ocean.

the humidity will drop because warm and cold air make steam.

the wind speed will decrease because land and water temperatures remain the same.

Differences in air pressure cause greater wind speeds.

Rainy weather causes greater wind speeds.

Warmer weather causes greater wind speeds.

Small temperature changes cause greater wind speeds.
