The temperature of the ocean does not change easily. When cold air blows over the ocean, the air warms up. When hot air blows over the ocean, the air cools down. Therefore, it is the ocean that prevents the extremes of great heat and cold. That is why places near the ocean tend to have milder climates than inland areas.

∙ 6y agoNot all places near the ocean have mild climates. For example, the New England states, which are on the North Atlantic coast, tend to have cold winters and warm summers. But the states on the Southern part of the Atlantic coast, such as Florida, Georgia, South Carolina have milder winters and warmer, more humid summer climates than the states on the northern part of the coast do.

The lowest areas of salinity in an ocean are near where fresh water rivers empty into them. This is because the influx of fresh water creates an area of lower salinity compared to the remainder of the ocean.

How did Alfred wegener use climate evidence from rocks to support his hypothesis?
A continent close to the equator has a warm and mild climate. A continent far from the equator has a colder climate. Wegener found that continents now in a colder climates have evidence that they used to be in warmer climates, or vice versa. E.g. Wegener found that Spitsbergen, an island now in the Arctic Ocean, has fossils of tropical plants, plants that lived in warm places. Spitsbergen couldn't possibly be warm when it was in the Arctic Ocean, so according to Wegener, Spitsbergen must have been located near the equator about 300 million years ago.
