Why do coastal cities have a moderate temperature?

Water has a higher heat capacity than soil and rock, so the ocean takes much longer to heat and to cool than the land. Coastal areas will generally have more moderate temperatures than inland areas because of the heat capacity of the ocean. ... When the land heats up, the air above it heats up as well.

Heya....❤❤❤

here is ur answer...

Water has a higher heat capacity than soil and rock, so the ocean takes much longer to heat and to cool than the land. Coastal areas will generally have moremoderate temperatures than inland areas because of the heat capacity of the ocean. ... When the land heats up, the air above it heats up as well.
Wind-driven and ocean-current circulations move warm water toward the poles and colder water toward the equator. The ocean can store much more heat than the land surfaces on the Earth. The majority of the thermal energy at the Earth's surface is stored in the ocean.

hope it helps...
