Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During the day, the land heats up more rapidly than water causing a temperature difference between the two. This causes the air above the land to rise, leading to low pressure, while the air above the water is relatively cooler and denser, leading to high pressure. The wind then blows from the high-pressure area (water) to the low-pressure area (land), which is why the wind tends to blow toward the land along the coast during the day.
