Question

During the day, the earth is heated up by the sun. The land gets hotter than the sea because it takes less energy to increase the land's temperature than to increase the sea's temperature. The land heats the air near it. This air rises and is replaced by cool air from the ocean, creating a "sea" breeze that blows from the ocean to the land during the day. Which forms of heat transfer are described above as helping to create a sea breeze?

Answer 1

Convection and Conduction

Answer 2

During the day, the earth is heated up by the sun. The land gets hotter than the sea because the sea has a larger heat capacity as compared to the land, so the surface of the sea warms up slowly as compared to the land. As the temperature of the land's surface is increased by conduction, the land heats the air near it by convection.
