The arrow above the water is coming down and is blue because
the water is warm so it warms the air and warm air sinks.
the water is cold so it warms the air and cool air sinks.
the water is cold so it cools the air and cool air sinks.
the water is warm so it warms the air and cool air sinks.
The arrow above the land is going up and is red because
the land is warm so it warms the air and warm air rises.
the land is cold so it warms the air and cool air sinks.
the land is cold so it cools the air and cool air sinks.
the land is warm so it warms the air and cool air rises.
Sea breezes take place during the day because warmer land temperature results in a warmer air mass above the land compared to the cooler air mass over the surface of water.
