Distance From Sea Level Affects Climate
What effect does the distance from sea level have on climate?
Distance From Sea Level Affects Climate
Landmasses heat up faster than water bodies because they receive more solar radiation from the sun, but they also lose heat faster. As a result, during hot seasons, particularly during the day, the sea or ocean remains cooler than the continent, lowering the temperatures of adjacent lands. During cold seasons and at night, the sea remains warmer, raising the temperatures of places nearby.
As a result, we can say that the sea moderates the climate of coastal areas by keeping temperatures moderately high and moderately low.
