Question

In general, coastal areas experience less
contrasts in temperature conditions. Seasonal
contrasts are more in the interior of the
country. There is decrease in rainfall generally
from east to west in the Northern Plains. These
variations have given rise to variety in lives of
people - in terms of the food they eat, the
clothes they wear and also the kind of houses
they live in.
please explain this, it is from NCERT geography class 9 textbook, page 27
thank you ​

Answer 1

Coastal areas experience less variations in temperature this is because of the moderating effects of water bodies.

Water takes much time to heat up and cool down. Thus on hot days, water absorbs heat, keeping the air somewhat cooler. When the air gets cool, however, water slowly releases heat to the atmosphere, raising air temperatures.

That is why coastal areas are cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
