Bodies of water have a moderating effect on land temperature?
Bodies of water have a moderating effect on land temperatures because in a moderate climate, such as Vancouver, Canada, the air from the oceans in the summertime is cooler and blows onto the adjacent land, whereas in the wintertime, the air masses from the warmer waters blows onto the nearby land and causes the land to warm up. Although, for a continental climate, such as Winnipeg, Canada, the exact oppostie happens. The cold air from the oceans blows onto the nearby land and thus makes everything cooler, and in the summer, the warmer air masses blows onto the land and makes everything warmer. This is also considered an extreme climate. Therefore, bodies of water regulate temperatures of the nearby land, and in cases of El Nino, have affects temperatures on a global scale.
