The high specific heat of water.
The temperature range would be greater on the land of a desert.
The water ranges are greater
The seasonal temperature range is greater at 45N than at 45S because the Northern Hemisphere has more landmass compared to the Southern Hemisphere, which tends to heat up and cool down more rapidly than water. Land has a lower heat capacity and can experience more extreme temperature variations throughout the year.
Water and land can affect the temperature
Water has a larger surface area on the earth. Land has a greater mass.
The Southern Hemisphere has a greater proportion of ocean coverage compared to the Northern Hemisphere which has more landmass. Water has a higher heat capacity than land, meaning it can absorb and release heat more slowly, leading to smaller temperature variations. Additionally, the Southern Hemisphere is less affected by large landmasses that can create temperature extremes.
3/4 of the Earth is covered by water. There is more water in the Pacific Ocean alone, than there is above water land on the Earth. The Seas, (oceans) are greater than the land.
As I understand it, hurricanes develop, and enlarge as a result of absorbing ENERGY in the form of HEAT from the water over which they travel.Therefore, the greater the heat, the greater the chances of a hurricane growing larger and more violent. And the converse of that is also true: As the temperature of the mass [water or land] over which the hurricane travels decreases, the greater the tendency for it to weaken and dissipate.
the temperature of breezes over water is much cooler than over land because the sunlight is reflected of the water instead of absorbed by the land
