Sea Breeze

A local wind that blows from the sea to the land due to higher-pressure air over the water.

Onshore Breeze

A wind that blows from the sea towards the land, typically during the day due to thermal differences between land and water.

High Pressure

High pressure in a geologic sense refers to the intense force exerted between tectonic plates or in the Earth's atmosphere, influencing weather patterns and geological formations.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
During the day, the land heats up faster than the water, causing the air over the land to warm up and rise, creating a low-pressure area. The cooler air over the water, being denser, moves towards the land to replace the rising warm air, creating an onshore breeze.
