Why is it that land near the ocean generally has a milder climate than land in the interior of continents?
It's because water is slower to heat up and cool down than land, so it'll slow down any temperature changes, in both directions.

Which way does water drain in the southern hemisphere?
At some point, most of us have heard that water spins down a drain in different directions depending on which hemisphere we happen to be in. The fact is, the Coriolis force (an apparent force as a result of the Earth's spin) has virtually nothing to do with which direction water spins as it empties down a drain. Although this force is "real" and does have an affect on other large, long lived systems that travel great distances (such as hurricanes, high and low pressure systems, and long range artillery shells), water draining from toilets, sinks, and bathtubs are rendered virtually immune from its affects. The Coriolis force is much too weak to have any affect on such small, short lived rotating bodies of water under normal conditions.
What causes a tornado simple answers?
In very simple terms, tornadoes form when thunderstorms start to spin when they run into winds blowing in different directions. The spinning air in the storm can then get squeezed tighter, causing it to spin faster and reach down to the ground to become a tornado.
Why do water in the southern hemisphere turn clockwise down the drain and anticlockwise in the northern hemisphere?
it has nothing to do with the hemispheres, it depends on the shape of the drain. It can go either direction in both hemispheres
Why does a beam of light change directions when it enters the water?
Because it slows down when entering water.

What is cuurrent?
Not sure what a suface cuurrent is. In deep water, there often are currents that flow in different directions at different depths. A surface current will flow in one direction, near the surface, while there will be a current flowing in the opposite direction deeper down.
