How does distance from the sea affect the climate of a place? Describe with suitable diagram.
Answers
Answer:
Distance from the sea (Continentality)
The sea affects the climate of a place. Coastal areas are cooler and wetter than inland areas. ... In the summer, temperatures can be very hot and dry as moisture from the sea evaporates before it reaches the centre of the land mass.
Explanation:
The distance from any water body (whether it is a lake/ sea) have a major impact on climate of any location. Greater distant locations have lesser impact of sea in controllig the climatic conditions.
Say Mumbai or any coastal region like Goa , they are situated near huge water reservoirs which causes lesser daily temperature range, as water moderates diurnal temperature swings and overall annual as well(because water bodies take much time to warm and cool).
While if you see temperature range (whether daily or annual) of any desert region; say Jaisalmer of Rajasthan, such places have great temperature ranges causing hot day and chilling night (as land warms and cools quickly)
That’s why coastal cities have cold summer and mild winters and desert cities (far from water reservoirs) have hot summers and chilling winters.
