Synopsis: This page has two diagrams of daytime and night-time sea breezes shown in cross section (from the side) and stretching across the width of the page: one at the top and one at the bottom. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. A dashed line image border surrounds each diagram. Daytime sea breezes (1): The diagram at the top of the page shows an area of land at the left, sloping right and down to a section of sea, starting at the bottom centre of the diagram. Above the land on the left are two wiggly lines with arrowheads and up the page from these are a line of arrows pointing to the right, then down, then back to the left, showing the onshore cool breeze. At the top right of the page are three thick arrows pointing down and left diagonally, representing the sun's energy. There are text labels on the diagram that describe the features and processes shown. Night-time sea breezes (2): The diagram at the bottom of the page shows an area of land at the left, sloping right and down to a section of sea, starting at the bottom centre of the diagram. Above the sea on the right are two wiggly lines with arrowheads and up the page from these are a line of arrows pointing to the left, then down, then back to the right, showing the offshore breeze. There are text labels on the diagram, which describe the features and processes shown.
