Answer:

Land breeze occurs at night

Step-by-step explanation:

Land breeze is usually defined as the wind that blows from the land areas to the ocean surface. It occurs during the night time. It is because the land areas have the ability to release heat at a faster rate, in comparison to the ocean water bodies. When the land areas cools, the wind carries the cold and denser prevailing air and reaches the ocean surface in order to balance the warm rising air from the oceans. This is how the heat on earth is being balanced by the simultaneous occurrence of land and sea breeze.
