What causes land and sea breezes?

Learn why we have sea and land breezes. Almost anytime you go to the beach you will encounter some wind. This is because of the land and water heating up and cooling off at different rates.
Land warms up and cools off more quickly than water. Warm air creates a low-pressure area and cold air creates a high-pressure area. Air will always flow from high pressure to low pressure and this will generate wind.
