It keeps the temperatures more even.
Water has a high specific heat. This means that it takes a lot of energy to warm water up and that water holds its temperature (it take a long time for water to cool).
This means, as compared to the land, ocean temperatures more even and do not fluctuate on a daily basis.
The circulation of the oceans also tak a vast amount of heat to the polar regions, balancing out the overall temperature of the globe.
the specific heat keeps the ocean temperature more even.....APEX.
The ocean affect the coastal climate because water takes longer to heat and to cool than the land does and thus the climate of places that are near the ocean are moderated by the water.
yes, if there is not enough water the heat will be affected because not as much heat can be held.
It is because the density increases as you add salt and with all other substances the higher the density the lower the specific heat. For example water has a density of 1000 Kg m -3 and a specific heat of 4186 J/Kg. On the other hand copper has a density of 8960 Kg m -3 and a specific heat of 385 J/Kg.
It doesn't. It does slow the melting of rock, but only because of the specific heat of water. (i.e. you've got to heat the water too.)
If the ocean had a low specific heat it wouldn't be able to support life. This is because the water would be too cold.

Its heat capacity
The specific heat of water is greater than the specific heat of air.
The ocean affect the coastal climate because water takes longer to heat and to cool than the land does and thus the climate of places that are near the ocean are moderated by the water.
it makes the coastal weather milder.

It would get cooler because of the high specific heat of water found in the ocean. Basically the ocean absorbs much heat which cools the area around it.
The water absorbs heat and keeps gives the temperature a consistency.
It is because the density increases as you add salt and with all other substances the higher the density the lower the specific heat. For example water has a density of 1000 Kg m -3 and a specific heat of 4186 J/Kg. On the other hand copper has a density of 8960 Kg m -3 and a specific heat of 385 J/Kg.
Being closer to the ocean means the area is more humid Water is a substance with high specific heat capacity (meaning: it loses and gains heat very slowly, it stores a lot of heat per gram of water) The more humid the area is, the more water molecules. This allows the area to have a stable temperature throughout the day. However, areas far from the ocean have more fluctuation of temperature due to lack of water vapor in the air.
