• Radiation is when cold air rises and warm air sinks, causing a breeze.

How does conduction play a role in a sea AND land breeze?

• Conduction is when the sun's rays heat up our land and/or our sea.

• Conduction does not occur in a land breeze...our air molecules only get warm from the land in a sea breeze.

• Conduction heats the air by the sea OR land coming in direct contact with our air molecules.
