What influence does water have on the temperature variations of a region?
Wiki User
∙ 13y ago
If a region is near a large body of water, like California, it will have warmer Winters and cooler Summers, because of water's high specific heat.

Why might a higher proportion of water to land influence the temperature variations?
The high specific heat of water.
What is the term used to describe a region's distance away from the moderating influence of the sea?
The term is "continental climate." It refers to a climate found in the interior of continents, far from large bodies of water, resulting in greater temperature variations between seasons.
What is maritime influence?
Also called the maritime effect, the maritime influence is the influence the ocean water has on the continental land that regulates the region's temperature. As a result of the ocean water holding the temperature throughout the year, the region's temperature is much more consistent than a more inland region. A good example of this is the city of Seattle, WA. It is near the water, and is regulated by the Pacific Ocean, and thus has a pretty regular temperature throughout the year.**Keep in mind that this is not the only climate factor. A city like New York City is regulated by the water, but still has a considerable bell curve when it comes to yearly average temperatures because of latitude - but it is flatter than, say, Minneapolis, MN, which is affected by the continental effect.
What does the temperature of the land or water influence?
The water cycle and cloud formation.
What influence does water have on temperature?
it makes it colder because of the molecules in water
What are the factors that influence the density of water?
Temperature and Salinity
What is thermal stratification and the factors causing thermal stratification?
Thermal stratification is the layering of water in a lake or reservoir according to temperature where warmer water sits above cooler water. Factors causing thermal stratification include sunlight, air temperature, and wind patterns, which influence the distribution of heat in the water column. Differences in water density due to temperature variations also contribute to the formation of thermal stratification.
Why do fish died in warm water?
Fish can tolerate very little temperature variations.
What happens to the temperature of ocean water in the thermocline region?
the temperature drops rapidly :)
What factor influence temperature?
The main factors that influence temperature are latitude, altitude, distance from large bodies of water, and ocean currents.
Is a cities temperature a marine influence or a continental influence?
If the city is near a large body of water, then the influence is marine. If not, then the influence is continental.
What climate region has the widest temperature range?
The climate region that typically has the widest temperature range is the continental climate, which is characterized by hot summers and cold winters. This wide temperature range is due to the lack of moderating influence from large bodies of water, leading to significant temperature fluctuations throughout the year.
