How does the air move during daytime?

The air moves in the exact same manner regardless of the time of day. However, air near the ground in areas where the ground level consists of vastly different materials, typical airflow during night may differ from the typical daytime situation.

For example, in a coastal region, land (rocks, sand) might meet the sea. During the day, the rocks heat up quicker than the large body of water, so the air starts to rise above the land, and the local air flow goes towards the coast. However, during the night, the shore cools but the sea maintains its temperature, causing the wind direction to change to a seabound breeze during the night.

These conditions can be observed in nature, however, local climate, weather conditions, currents and conditions on the shore as well as in the water will affect this phenomenon.
