Why is it warmer in Denmark during summer than in Switzerland during winter - Switzerland has a lower latitude and is closer to the tropics?
But Denmark is lower in elevation, and closer to the ocean. Oceans moderate temperatures around land, while increased altitude is colder.
Why does large bodies of water tend to moderate the climate of nearby land make it warmer in cold weather and cooler in hot weather?
water temperatures change more slowly than land temperatures.
Large oceans moderate the climatic temperatures of surrounding coastal land areas because the temperature of ocean water changes?
slowly high specific heat
What is moderating effect?
Moderating Effects - effect that large climate over nearby land areas. Winter temperatures are warmer and summer temperatures are warmer and summer temperatures are cooler than areas located away from large water bodies. The result is a small annual temperature range.
Is unusual because it takes a large amount of heat to raise its temperature water's temperature does not change as much as surroundings air or land?
Water has a higher specific heat capacity than land (soil, rocks, etc), and also the sun's radiation is not absorbed by water so easily as for land. Similarly for air. Thus the oceans moderate the temperatures reached under sunlight, and the land near the oceans is always cooler than that inland, in summer. In winter though the reverse can be true, because the oceans then become a large store of thermal energy whilst the land cools more quickly in the absence of strong sunlight.
What effect do oceans have on the temperatures of nearby land areas?
Oceans cause the land masses near by to have more moderate temperatures. (Cooler summers and warmer winters.)
How do you think the temperature of the ocean compares with the temperature of the land nearby?
Land heats more rapidly and to higher temperatures than water does, and cools quicker to lower temperatures than water. Ocean temperatures are more moderate than land temperatures.
Why do bodies of water tend to moderate temperature swings from day to day?
Bodies tend to moderate temperatures swings from day to day because they remain relatively constant. The wind that blows over the water will carry temperatures to the land.

Why does large bodies of water tend to moderate the climate of nearby land make it warmer in cold weather and cooler in hot weather?
water temperatures change more slowly than land temperatures.
Why its warmer in winter by the coast than in land?
The sea has a constant temperature and as a result keeps the temperatures on the coast more constant. it is warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.
Large oceans moderate the climatic temperatures of surrounding coastal land areas because the temperature of ocean water changes?
slowly high specific heat
Why in winter land get so cold and why New York gets cold?
Temperatures are below 0, hence with negative temperatures arises higher wind pressure hence damaging the environment.
What is the landforms of the Inuit?
They lived in the Arctic Regions of Canada, the United States (Alaska), and Greenland. The land there is mostly frozen and the temperatures can go down to -40 degrees Fahrenheit in January.
How do the wind and ocean distribute heat on earths surface?
when the winds eventually blow over the land, they moderate the temperature of the air over the land.
Why does the temperatures in freshwater biomes vary?
Freshwater biome include lakes, ponds, rivers, and streams. ... Rivers change their course as they travel and carve a path through the land. The temperatures range from 65 °F to 75 °F in the summer and 35 °F to 45 °F in the winter.
Which destination would experience the greatest difference temperatures between summer and winter?
Anywhere in the centre of a continent. Land heats up quickly and cools quickly.
