The transfer of thermal energy by convection is a very important process in the temperature distribution of the Surface of the Earth. The term sea breeze describes a thermally produced wind blowing from a ocean surface onto adjoining land. What statement explains this phenomenon?

A) Land has a higher specific heat than water. Therefore, the temperature of the water does not rise as much as landmass.
B) Land has a higher specific heat than water. Therefore, the temperature of the landmass does not rise as much as the water.
C) Water has a higher specific heat than land. Therefore, the temperature of the water does not rise as much as landmass.
D) Water has a higher specific heat than land. Therefore, the temperature of the landmass does not rise as much as water.

My original answer was 'A' but it was marked incorrect.
