  5. Land Breeze: At night, dry land cools faster than water, due to the water’s large specific heat capacity. Since the land faster than the water, the air above the water is now

  6. Warmer and less dense than the air above the dry land. Therefore the path of the convection current is the opposite of the daytime current. Warmer air above the water is rising, drawing in the cooler air from the land
