Water has high heat capacity, which means that it takes more energy to heat water. In areas near large bodies of water, the water is able to absorb and release heat, thus stabilizing the weather, and influencing the climate.

What in the ocean flows past land and influences the climate of the region?
Warm and cool ocean currents influence the climate. The UK is a good example, being affected by the warm Gulf Stream.
What has a milder climate the ocean coast or one farther island?
I am not sure i think.... well the ocean acts as a large heat sink keeping around the same temperature. The ocean changes temperature slower than landmasses, so that influences the temperature overall slowing it down.
What are the six major influences on climate?
latitude,elevation,ocean currents,wind currents,mountain barriers, and tilt of the earth
Is the climate of Hilo Hawaii affected by a large body of water?
Yes. And that large body of water would be the Pacific Ocean.
What factors play a large role in determining climate?
Global winds, insolation, large bodies of water and ocean currents.
Why is Ireland's climate the same throughout the island?
Ireland is not very large so it is all affected by similar influences in terms of it climate. Most of the weather is influenced by the Atlantic Ocean and the gulf stream. Some parts are wetter and windier, like the west coast, and some areas get warmer weather than others, but generally there is not much difference.
What are stream like movements of water that have a large effect on an area's climate?
Ocean currents or perhaps gyres.
How do oceans moderate climate?
Water conserves heat. The ocean circulates large masses of water with heat.
