During the day, the air
above the land heats up
more quickly than the
air over water.

There are two types of forces which are acting on the blades.
Circumferential force : acting in the direction of wheel rotation
that provides the torque.
Axial force : acting in the direction of wind stream and
provides an axial thrust that must be counteracted by proper
mech design.
Axial forces are proportional to the square of the diameter of
the turbine wheel, this limits turbine wheel diameter of large
size.
