Question

Coastal regions have ______ climate.

Options

• Maritime

• Continental

• Monsoon

• Both Maritime and Continental

Answer 1

Coastal regions have maritime climate.

Explanation:

Coastal regions have a maritime climate because they are close to large bodies of water, which regulate local temperatures. Oceans absorb and release heat far slower than land, resulting in gentle sea breezes that prevent excessive weather. Because of this buffer effect, temperatures remain moderate and equable throughout the year, with a very limited annual temperature range.
