What is a local wind that blows from the sea to the land called?

A. Sea breeze
B. Land breeze
C. Monsoon
D. Cyclone
Correct Answer: A. Sea breeze

A sea breeze is a local wind system that develops during the day when the land heats up faster than the adjacent sea. The warmer air over the land rises, creating an area of lower atmospheric pressure. Cooler, denser air from over the sea then flows inland to replace the rising warm air, resulting in a breeze blowing from the sea to the land.

  • Land breeze is the opposite, occurring at night when the land cools faster than the sea, causing wind to blow from land to sea.
  • Monsoon refers to large-scale seasonal wind shifts, not a daily local phenomenon.
  • Cyclone is a large, rotating storm system, unrelated to the daily sea-to-land wind pattern.
