when the winds eventually blow over the land, they moderate the temperature of the air over the land.
The heat transfers through the entire ocean, since its technically one big global ocean.

Ocean surface currents redistribute heat around the world's climate. The Gulf Stream and the North Atlantic current bring in warm salty tropical water.
Convection currents in the oceans distribute heat by transferring warm water from the equator towards the poles and cold water from the poles towards the equator. This process helps regulate global temperature patterns and redistributes heat throughout the ocean, influencing weather patterns and climate.
Most evaporation happens in the ocean because of its large surface area and exposure to sunlight. The ocean's high heat capacity allows it to retain heat, which promotes the evaporation of water molecules from its surface. Additionally, the continuous movement of air and water currents helps distribute the evaporated water throughout the atmosphere.

Heat energy is transferred throughout the global ocean primarily through the process of convection, where warmer water rises to the surface and cooler water sinks. This creates large-scale ocean circulation patterns that help distribute heat around the Earth. Additionally, heat can also be transported horizontally through ocean currents, such as the Gulf Stream.
Earth's surface is free to radiate heat into space. The interior is not. The interior does transfer heat the the surface, but rather slowly. It is hot due to residual heat from Earth's formation and from the heat generated by the decay of radioactive elements.
Beneath the surface of the earth temperature remains the same. Within the Earth, irregular convection cells within the mantle transfer heat from the core to the surface of the planet. Volcanoes and earthquakes are two examples of heat transferring from the interior to the surface.
