Do isotherms show a greater seasonal shift over land or ocean?

Isotherms shift more over land because water has a high heat capacity and needs lots of heat to increase its temperature.

Isotherms, which are lines connecting areas with the same average temperature, generally exhibit a greater seasonal shift over land compared to the ocean. This is because land heats up and cools down more quickly than the ocean due to differences in heat capacity and heat transfer mechanisms. Therefore, the temperature variation on land between seasons is usually more pronounced than that over the ocean.

The seasonal shift of the intertropical convergence is greatest?
over the ocean
How does under water earthquake affect the ocean water?
It causes the ground at the ocean floor to shift, resulting in the displacement of water. The beginnings of a potential tsunami!
Will the Indian Ocean tsunami happen again?
Not from the current location. The ocean floor shift had been building pressure for many years. However, there will probably be another tsunami in the Indian Ocean eventually - there is no way of knowing when. When it does occur it will be a different tsunami from the one that occurred in 2004.
How does parallax shift varies with distance?
The closer the star, the greater the parallax angle, which is why you can't measure the distance to very distant stars using the parallax method.
What can be produced at an oceanic-continental convergence?
Ocean-continental convergent boundaries can produce earthquakes and volcanic activity. As the ocean plates shift under each other they near their melting temperature and can form magma and solidify to form underwater mountain ranges.
Is the seasonal shift of isotherms greater over the continents than over the ocean?
Yes.
The seasonal shift of the intertropical convergence is greatest?
over the ocean
Why do isotherms shift during the seasons of the year?
Isotherms are contour lines connecting areas of equal temperature. So as the temperatures change during the year, the isotherm will shift.
What are seasonal shift in the winds of Asia?
monsoon
What is a wave caused by a sudden shift in the ocean floor called?
A wave caused by a sudden shift in the ocean floor is called a tsunami.
What statement is true about a star with a greater shift in its spectrum than another star?
The star with the greater shift moves towards us, or away from us, faster.
When a crustal shift occurs in the ocean floor what other danger may be posed to wildlife habitats on land?
A shift in the ocean floor might cause a tsunami.
What sign in maths shows greater than?
> is greater than. You can Shift and press the . button on your keyboard to access it.
Where can you find a ocean in sims?
You can create an ocean by typing Water_tool in the cheat bar (Ctrl+Shift+C)
Why did trade shift from Mediterranean sea to Atlantic Ocean?
because of dogs
Why symbol less than and greater is not working in your computer?
maybe you keys are broken. all i do to put a greater than or less than symbol is hold shift then press the comma on the keyboard for less than... and hold the shift and press the period on the keyboard for greater than.
How do you type the greater than sign?
You press period while holding shift.
