The thermostatic effect of water on land masses refers to water's ability to moderate temperatures in adjacent areas due to its high specific heat capacity. Water absorbs and releases heat more slowly than land, leading to milder temperature fluctuations in coastal regions compared to inland areas. This results in cooler summers and warmer winters near large bodies of water, influencing local climates and ecosystems. Consequently, areas near water often experience a more stable and moderate climate than those further inland.

What is a strip of water between two land masses called?
A strip of water between two land masses is called a strait.
What is an air mass that forms over dry land?
Continental air masses. Tropical air masses form over water.
Which planet has gasses land masses and large amounts of surface water?
Earth is the planet that has gases, land masses, and large amounts of surface water. It is the only known planet to have these three characteristics in such abundance.
The surface of earth is covered mostly by what?
The surface of earth is covered mostly by water.
How are air masses that form Overland different from air masses that form over water?
Air masses that form over land, known as continental air masses, tend to be drier and can experience more extreme temperature variations due to the rapid heating and cooling of land surfaces. In contrast, air masses that form over water, called maritime air masses, are generally more humid and maintain more moderate temperatures because water has a higher heat capacity. This difference in moisture content and temperature stability can significantly influence local weather patterns when these air masses move and interact with one another.
Distinguish between water bodies and land masses?
Water bodies are liquid and land masses are solid.
What is a strip of water between two land masses called?

What large masses of land surrounded by ocean water?
continents
Why do the normal number of high and low not happen in some places?
Because of the effect of local land masses. For example, there are 4 high tides daily in Southampton Water. This is because of the effect of the Water being in an 'alleyway' and off the Solent, itself a constricted waterway.

It is called a strait.
Which of these are large masses of land surround by ocean water?
continent
Can air masses be on ocean?
Yes, air masses can be anywhere as they can take on the characteristics of the surface whether it be land or water that they are over.
