Water and land affect climate because when the temperatures of the land increase and decrease faster then the water's temperature, so air over the land is warmer in day and cooler in the night and the air over the water is cooler in the day and warmer in the night so the cooler air flows over to the warmer air causing the warmer air to rise, that is also called either a land or sea breeze (That matters whether it is day or night).

Water absorbs vast amounts of energy. Likewise bodies of water release energy very slowly. Areas near water are usually more mild. Organic materials (such as plants and animals) tend to absorb more energy. Unlike a desert that hold it. Thus air temp. in a forest is usually cooler then the temp. in a desert.


Since land and water heat at different temperatures the effects of this process creates climates. For instance, warm weather and moisture from oceans can create hurricanes.

Land areas can heat faster and to greater temperatures, and they also cool faster at night. Continents, with or without tall mountains, create weather cycles with a higher temperature range, and with seasonal rainfall. They can be hotter and dryer than maritime climates. Vegetation and land cover can also affect climate.

In the temperate climates, snow further decreases winter temperatures because of its albedo. This is also seen in sea ice in arctic climates near the poles.

Factors that affect rates of weathering (climate)?

Two key factors affect the rates of weathering rock type and climate. Climate: is the single, most important factor that affects the rate of weathering. Chemical reactions occurs faster at higher temperatures, Warm climates favor chemical weathering, cold climates favor mechanical weathering(principally freezing and thawing), more moisture, or precipitation present, the more noticeable weathering.
