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.
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.
How do you compare sea breezes and land breezes?
Sea breezes come from land and over the water, and happen in daytime. Land breezes come from water and over the land, and happen at night.
Why is it warmer on the coastline in winter?
The heat capacity of ocean water is about four times that of air. The ocean's heat capacity is also much greater than that of land. Therefore, it takes a lot of energy to warm the oceans, but not as much to warm the land. So when the air temperature is warm, it warms the land surface rapidly. The ocean takes much longer to warm, but it holds heat longer. Generally, in summer the land is warmer than the ocean, and in winter the ocean is warmer than the land.
Why is temperature less of limiting factor in water biomes than in land biomes?
large amounts of water stabilize temperatures
Why do water temperatures correspond to air temperatures?
In most cases, the water temperature only affects land temperatures when the land is in relatively close proximity to the water. The winds will flow accross the warmer water and carry the radiated heat over the land closest to the shoreline. As the wind blows further inland, the affects of the water are slowly dropped off. In contrast, the air temperatures can SLOWLY affect the water temperatures. Over time, cooler/warmer air temps will cool/warm the waters if the temps are fairily consistent for a period of time. The larger the body of water, the longer it takes for the air to affect it.

Why is the sufrace of land is usually warmer than the surface of a nearby body of water because the water?
has a higher density
Which gets warmer faster land or water?
the water gets warmer because it has fewer particle's
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.)
Bodies of water have a moderating effect on land temperature?
Bodies of water have a moderating effect on land temperatures because in a moderate climate, such as Vancouver, Canada, the air from the oceans in the summertime is cooler and blows onto the adjacent land, whereas in the wintertime, the air masses from the warmer waters blows onto the nearby land and causes the land to warm up. Although, for a continental climate, such as Winnipeg, Canada, the exact oppostie happens. The cold air from the oceans blows onto the nearby land and thus makes everything cooler, and in the summer, the warmer air masses blows onto the land and makes everything warmer. This is also considered an extreme climate. Therefore, bodies of water regulate temperatures of the nearby land, and in cases of El Nino, have affects temperatures on a global scale.
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.
How do the heating of land water differ?
Land heats more rapidly and to higher temperatures than water. Land also cools more rapidly and to lower temperatures than water
How do the heating of land and water different?
Land heats more rapidly and to higher temperatures than water. Land also cools more rapidly and to lower temperatures than water
What wind will occur when the air over the land is warmer than the air over the water?
at night the air over the water is warmer than the air over the land
How do you compare sea breezes and land breezes?
Sea breezes come from land and over the water, and happen in daytime. Land breezes come from water and over the land, and happen at night.
