Answer

Two advantages of convectional heating of the atmosphere are-

  1. Convection currents in the atmosphere cause sea breeze. During the day, the air over land becomes warmer and rises. Cool air from oceans moves in to take its place causing sea breeze.
  2. At night, land breeze happens due to the opposite of this. Land surface gets cooled more quickly than the ocean surface. Air over land flows towards the ocean causing land breeze.
