3 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)

4 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

5 Monsoons Seasonal wind changes
Summer monsoon  land warmer so wind blows toward land Winter monsoon  ocean warmer so wind blows toward the ocean
