How do large bodies of water influence climate
🔄 Click to see definition
Definition1/15
Water has a large specific heat.
That means that it takes more heat energy to change the
temperature of water than it does to change the temp of land;
thus places near large bodies of water are warmer in winter and
cooler in summer.
