A sea breeze is caused by the phenomenon where air above land warms quicker than air over water. During the day, the sun heats the land more rapidly than it heats the water. This causes the air above the land to become warmer and rise, creating an area of lower pressure. Meanwhile, the air over the cooler water remains relatively denser and creates an area of higher pressure. As a result, the cooler air from over the water moves inland to replace the rising warm air, creating a sea breeze.
