Oceans are large areas of water and water does not heat up or cool down as quickly as land does. The reason for this is that water has a higher specific heat than land; it takes more energy to raise the temperature of water than it does to raise the temperature of land. So areas along the coast tend to have weather that does not vary much.
What else can I help you with?
Which factor do you think has a stronger effect on climate the atmosphere or the ocean?
atmosphere
What is an ocaen effect?
There is a typo in your question, but I assume you are asking about the "ocean effect." The ocean effect refers to the influence that oceans have on the climate and weather patterns of surrounding areas. Oceans help regulate temperature, provide moisture for precipitation, and influence wind patterns through processes like evaporation, condensation, and ocean currents.
How does whitecaps affect climate?
Whitecaps, which are formed by breaking ocean waves, play a role in the Earth's climate system by increasing the reflectivity of the ocean surface. This can have a cooling effect on the climate by reflecting more sunlight back into space. Additionally, whitecaps can also contribute to the exchange of heat, gases, and moisture between the ocean and the atmosphere, influencing atmospheric circulation patterns.
What role does the ocean play in the greenhouse effect?
The ocean plays a leading role in the Earth's climate, and creating OXYGEN! Not to mention cleans the air so that bacterias don't kill off other life.
Is the climate of California affected by an ocean?
The climate of California is affected by the ocean that borders the state by providing moisture to the area.

A place's distance from the ocean has a great effect on its?
A place's distance from the ocean usually has a great effect on its climate.
What can effect the climate of an area?
well,the ocean currents can eventually effect the climat of an area
Does the ocean determine climate?
yes, if you are by an ocean it will give lake effect and there will be very extreme seasons
Which factor do you think has a stronger effect on climate the atmosphere or the ocean?
atmosphere
How does the ocean effect climate of coastal cities?
The coastal cities they have lots of disaster
How does the ocean effect climate?
by evaporating in the air bacse when it evaporates the water may warm
What are stream like movements of water that have a large effect on an area's climate?
Ocean currents or perhaps gyres.
Which factor has a stronger effect on climate the atmosphere or ocean?
Both the atmosphere and ocean play important roles in shaping climate, but the ocean generally has a stronger effect due to its vast heat capacity and ability to store and transport heat. Ocean circulation patterns, such as El Niño and La Niña, can have significant impacts on global climate patterns, while the atmosphere primarily interacts with these oceanic influences to generate weather events.
How are people affected by oil spills in your ocean environment?
Oil spills can effect the ocean and environment because it polutes the ocean and the air which can start to cause global warming, (WEATHER AN CLIMATE CHANGE).

How does near to water effect the climate?
Since the ocean absorbs energy from the sun, areas around an ocean are warmer than areas that are at the same latitude, but farther away from an ocean. Compare Seattle and Milwaukee. Seattle climate is warmer and doesn't get much snow in the winter. Milwaukee's climate gets below zero during winter and has snow from late November to March.
