Why are temperatures near the Great Lakes cooler in the summer than temperatures a few miles away
🔄 Click to see definition
Definition1/19

Answer:
Air passing over the lakes becomes moister from evaporation. This evaporation of water requires heat which is absorbed from the air. As a consequence the air becomes cooler.
