Sea Breeze During the day, land heats quicker than water - Warm air over land rises - Rising air cools (and may condense) - Cooled air moves back over ocean and sinks Ocean is cooler compared to land (cold source, aka heat sink)
Land Breeze During the night, land cools quicker than water - Warm air over water rises - Rising air cools (and may condense) - Cooled air moves back over land and sinks
Monsoons Seasonal wind changes Summer monsoon land warmer so wind blows toward land Winter monsoon ocean warmer so wind blows toward the ocean
