Question

How does the distance of a place from the sea affects its climate?

Answer 1

Sea has a great influence on the climatic condition of a place. Places near sea has moderate climate due to regular exchange of sea breeze and land breeze. Also, the places near sea receive more rainfall and has oceanic climate.

Zones closer to the sea are wetter than those away from the sea due to maritime influence. During summer,land surfaces are warmer than sea surfaces so that inland areas are warmer than sea surfaces.During winter,the opposite happens,land surfaces are cooler than sea surfaces so that inland areas areas are cooler than sea surfaces.Winds blowing over the sea pick moisture and shed it as rainfall on the coastal areas. They blow as dry winds further inland causing inland aridity.
