Why does a coastal area have less variation in temperature than on coastal area?
*The coastal areas experience less variation in temperature as compared to land. It means that water takes more time to get hot or cold then land. Therefore areas near sea or ocean have more moderate temperature in the day time and less cooler at night.
Why are temperatures in coastal areas different from those in areas far from the coasts?
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.
Why are coastal areas less cold?
Distance from the sea The sea has a moderating influence on the region close to it. Compared to land, water takes longer to heat and cool. Thus, oceans heat up and cool down slower than the land around them. Cool sea breeze keeps the coastal areas cooler in summer and warmer in winter than places far away from the sea.
Why do coastal regions not have extreme temperature?
Coastal areas have moderate temperature because the land absorbs and radiates heat much faster than sea.
Why is temperature moderate in coastal areas?
Coastal areas have moderate temperature because the land absorbs and radiates heat much faster than sea. So, during the day cool air from sea rush towards the land and during night cool air from the land rush towards sea. These breezes make the climate near the sea shore moderate.
Why coastal areas are warmer in winter?
Explanation: 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.
Why do coastal areas have moderate temperature?
Why is the weather in coastal regions moderate?
Why nights are warmer in coastal regions?
Because at day time, sea absorbs less heat and land absorbs more heat, it makes the inland areas during the day time warmer. During night the inland release more night as compared to the sea, so the nights are warmer in coastal region.
