Many climatic events that take place on the planet are due to a phenomenon called convection . This is the case of sea breezes. During the day, when it receives solar radiation, the land – in this case the beach – heats up faster than the sea. That makes the air that is on the sand, when heated, tries to rise, and the cooler that is on the water tries to take its place . The exchange of positions produces wind that blows from the sea towards the land. At night, the situation is reversed: the land cools quickly, and it is she who sends her breeze to the sea.
What is the reason that a breeze always blows on the beach?
