Why do continental locations have a larger seasonal temperature range than maritime (ocean) locations?

Question 6 options:

land heats and cools faster than water


mountains block sunlight from some regions


trees impact how much sunlight is absorbed by land


water heats and cools faster than land

Respuesta :

The continental locations have a larger seasonal temperature range than maritime locations because land heats and cools faster than water.

Explanation:

The temperature of the ocean varies from top to bottom and gives a vertical structure to the ocean. The difference between continental and maritime climate is less temperature variation.

In continental climate summers are hot and winters very cold. In maritime climate summers can be cool and winters are not very cold. Ocean absorbs more heat and sea surface temperature increases.
