Why are continents warmer than nearby ocean waters during the summer?
Continents warm up and cool down faster than oceans due to differences in heat capacity. During summer, continents absorb more heat from the sun compared to oceans but also lose heat more quickly. This leads to higher temperatures on continents than in adjacent ocean waters.
Does the ocean or the continents cover more of the earths surface?

Does the ocean floor have features that are the same as features found on continents?
Yes, the ocean floor has features such as mountains, valleys, ridges, and plains that are similar to those found on continents. These features are formed by processes like tectonic activity, volcanic eruptions, and erosion. Additionally, both the ocean floor and continents have ecosystems that support various marine and terrestrial organisms.

Where are the high pressure centers in the northern hemisphere more often found-over continents or ocean?

If there were no continents on Earth what paths would the oceans surface take?
Without continents, the ocean surface would likely form one continuous, uninterrupted body of water covering the entire planet. This would result in a more uniform and interconnected oceanic circulation pattern around the globe. Ocean currents would flow more freely without the barriers created by continents, potentially leading to more consistent global weather patterns.
What countries doesn't the Pacific Ocean touch?
The Pacific Ocean doesn't touch three continents: Africa, Antarctica, and Europe.
Are more continents or mountain ranges in the world?
