Warm bodies of water evaporate water at a faster rate than cold bodies of water. This puts more moisture in the air in the form of clouds, which causes more rain to fall.
Factors that affect the climate of Africa include proximity to the equator, the presence of mountain ranges, ocean currents, and the distribution of land and water. These elements influence temperature, rainfall patterns, and seasons across the continent.
The climate by the ocean is less variable then over the land, the temperature ranges are more narrow, water tempers the swing in temperature compared to land.
Air masses can affect the weather because different air masses differ in temperature, density, and moisture content.
The monsoon is primarily associated with the Indian Ocean. It refers to the seasonal winds that occur in South Asia, bringing heavy rainfall during the summer months. These winds are influenced by temperature differences between the land and the ocean, resulting in a shift in wind patterns that significantly impacts the climate of the region.
Coastal areas are influenced by the temperature of the nearby ocean currents. Warm ocean currents can lead to higher temperatures and milder climates in coastal areas, while cold ocean currents can result in cooler temperatures and more extreme weather conditions. The temperature of a current can therefore impact the temperature of the land area it is located near, affecting local climate patterns.
The warm water evaporates. The water vapor returns to the land as rain.
The retreating rainfall monsoon occurs when the temperature on land is significantly warmer or cooler than the temperature of the ocean.
B. Ocean currents affect temperatures on land.
Factors that affect the climate of Africa include proximity to the equator, the presence of mountain ranges, ocean currents, and the distribution of land and water. These elements influence temperature, rainfall patterns, and seasons across the continent.
The water absorbs heat and keeps gives the temperature a consistency.
Diffusion of heat from land is quicker than water. thus temperature of air on land flactutes faster than in the ocean.
Water and land can affect the temperature
This is something
they pollute it they pollute it
the land of course
Closeness to water refers to the distance a place is from the ocean. It can affect temperature because during winter time the land but oceans are still warm. When winds blow over the warm ocean it absorbs the heat from the water. As the warm winds pass over the colder land it will raise the temperature over the land. Therefore, places closer to oceans have milder winters then places farther from oceans which will have more extreme winters.
Wind, deflection from land, temperature differences between layers of cold and warm water.
