the heat capacity of substances differ according to material. water in seas has a higher heat capacity and requires a lot of heat to raise its temp by one degree; much more than land. hence during the day the land absorbs much more heat than the sea and becomes hotter. this creates currents that blow from the sea to the land cooling the land in the day and a reverse during the night. therefore areas near the coast are cooler in summers and hotter in winter due to their proximity to large water bodies.

∙ 12y agoocean temperature affects the climate greatly for numerous reasons. When precipiation occurs (the process where water is drawn from sources, transported the the air by clouds then released in rain or rain like forms ) when this occurs, the amount of water that gets precipitated can define weather it will rain, be a sun shower or just look stormy, it can also affect dryness, humid weather or lightning. that's the ocean itself but the temperature is a little different and i don't have an answer about the temperature.

What types of ocean climate?
The climate by the ocean is less variable then over the land, the temperature ranges are more narrow, water tempers the swing in temperature compared to land.
How does topography such as ocean affect weather How does this affect temperature of the region?
The ocean effects people, it causes flooding ans idk the rest!!! :]
What determines the weather conditions and climates of land?
The ocean and air temperature determines the weather conditions and climate of land.
What four conditions describe the climate of a region?
Ocean currents, mountains, elevation, latitude.
What is the effects of carbonate racks to global climate?
There are two effects of carbonate rocks to the global climate. The two effects of carbonate rocks to the global climate are dissolution and deposition.
What effects do ocean currents have on the ocean?
they change the oceans temperature.
What factor has a direct effect on precipitation and climate?
Latitude, elevation, proximity to the ocean, and the temperature of any ocean currents effect the temperature of a location. Temperature, in combination with landforms and distance from large bodies of water, effects humidity and precipitation. Temperature, humidity, and precipitation are the main aspects of climate, along with wind direction and seasons, which are effected by latitude and the other above factors.

How do ocean currents affect coastal climate temperature?
no
What effects does the climate change have on the Earth?
that it regulates he temperature

Why do areas of the northeastern and southeastern north america have similar climates in the summer?
They have the same climate: a continental climate. This can be explained by its position on the planet and the effects of the Atlantic Ocean.
How does temperature effect climate?
I think temperature effects climate because temperature may be different depending on the area or place.
What determines the weather and climate of land?
The ocean and air temperature determines the weather conditions and climate of land.
Is Ocean Water about the same temperature all over the world?
No becuse climate is different between them .so temperature is not same
What is the climate of the sea?
It depends on where the sea is. The climate is always wet. The sea isn't categorized under any climate, but the temperature is dependent on where the sea is. Name a specific sea and I can give you a temperature and humidity level. what about the atalantic ocean
How do we affect the Atlantic ocean?
i think your words are flipped. You may mean "How does the Atlantic ocean affect the climate?" If that is your question, the ocean currents have a major impact on the climate of some countries because the temperature of the ocean current can affect the surrounding regions. You should look into ocean currents.
