Which way does thermal energy move when a cool breeze moves over a warm lake?

When a cool breeze blows over a warm lake then the cool air of the breeze comes in contact with the warmer water of the lake and hence due to the temperature difference the heat flows from the water to the air initially by the conduction and then sooner by the convection.

Similar is the situation in case of the land breeze where the land is cooler than the water bodies and the warm air over the water bodies rises up being less denser in the atmosphere and the space above the warmer water body is occupied by the cooler air that blows from the land.

Again this air is also heated up and the cycle continues.

When a cool breeze moves over a warm lake, thermal energy travels from the lake to the cool air.

The term convection refers to a mode of heat transfer in which thermal energy moves form one point to another by the actual movement of the particles of matter. Convection is responsible for land and sea breeze.

Land breeze refers to cool air blowing away from the land towards the sea. Thermal energy travels upwards from the sea warms the surrounding air and a convection current is set up.
