Why do land breezes occur at night?

• Land cools off slower than water, so the air above water is cooler.
• Water cools off faster than land, so the air above land is warmer.
• Land heats up slower than water, so the air stays cooler during the day.
• Water cools off slower than land, so the air above water is warmer.

What causes wind to blow?

• Differences in longitude 
• Shock waves from clouds 
• Differences in air temperature and pressure 
• The rotation of the earth
