why is there a difference in the climates of regions close to the oceans and regions far away from the oceans?
Answers
The differences in the climates are due to the following reasons :
Θ Close to the ocean , the climate is moderate .
Θ In the interior land , climate is extreme
Θ Water has a high specific heat capacity and land has a very low specific capacity
Θ Thus during the day, land gets heated up faster than the water.
Θ Water remains comparatively colder. Thus the sea breeze blows from sea to land
Θ During the night, the opposite happens.The land is faster cooled than water
Θ Hence the water remains comparatively warmer. Warm breeze blows from from sea to land.
Θ Thus temperature is moderate near the seas.
Θ In the interior there is no water body and hence temperature is extreme.
