Why do areas near large bodies of water stay warmer in the winter than inland areas?

Areas near large bodies of water stay warmer in the winter than inland areas because the seas hold a lot of heat, much more than air. They stay about the same temperature year round. Air holds very little heat and gives up or takes on heat easily. When breezes blow in from the water the air has taken heat from the water, making it near the temperature of the water. The opposite happens in the summer. The water is about the same temperature as it was in the winter so the breezes that blow from it onto land are cooler.

Are coastal areas in the northeast colder than inland areas?
No. Coastal areas are generally warmer in the northeast than inland areas. Generally, the further inland you go, the colder it becomes in the winter.
Coastal areas warmer in winter than inland?
In the winter the sea is warmer than the land. Warm breezes from the sea move towards the land. Areas further from the sea hardly get these warm breezes, and therefore remain cold.
What effect do large bodies of water have on climate?
The effects large bodies of water have on climate can range from the creation of warm, tropical climes to cold, barren ones. Large bodies of water take longer to heat up, making their surrounding areas tend to be cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
How do large bodies of water affect the climate of coastal areas?
Ocean currents carry warmer water from the tropics into colder regions. The heat from that warmer water escapes into the atmosphere as it creates warmer, rainier weather than might otherwise be expected.
Does air move from warmer areas to cooler areas?
No.
Are coastal areas colder in inland in the northeast?
No. Coastal areas are generally warmer in the northeast than inland areas. Generally, the further inland you go, the colder it becomes in the winter.

Are coastal areas in the northeast are colder than the inland areas?
answer: yes TRUE whoever ask super Heather and Jenet and Jade.
An inland climate that is remote from the moderating influences of large water bodies?
Continental climate is found in areas without significant bodies of water. This causes these areas to experience large variances in temperature between summer and winter.
Is the water in Spain warm?
Spain is a HUGE country so no, it is not warm all year. Southern Spain is much warmer than Northern Spain and the coastal areas are much warmer in winter than inland and the coastal areas are cooler in Summer. At night time in the winter temperature are anything but warm......however areas such as the Costa del Sol, Southern Spain truly do have many more warmer days than cooler ones.
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 land is warm in winter?
some areas in the winter are warm because they are closer to the equater which makes the area warmer
What effect do large bodies of water have on climate?
The effects large bodies of water have on climate can range from the creation of warm, tropical climes to cold, barren ones. Large bodies of water take longer to heat up, making their surrounding areas tend to be cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
Why do some birds move to other places in winter?
They migrate to warmer places in the winter because it is too cold for them to live in certain areas
Do grasshoppers migrate to other places?
becuase during the winter they need to move south to warmer areas.
How do temperatures of coastal areas compare to temperatures of inlands areas nearby?
As I've learnt, in summer the ocean will absorb heat slower than the land, so the ocean and coastal area will hv a relatively cooler temperature compare with the inland area. However in winter, it will be slightly different. In winter, the land release the temperature rapidly, so the temperature drops. And meanwhile the ocean release heat in a very slow speed, so the ocean stays warm, so the warmer the temperature in the coastal area compare with the inland areas. hope i solve your problem
