Question
Give reasons for the following:
Distance from the sea affects the temperature of a place.
Advertisements
Solution
The sea breeze that blows from the sea to the land cools the coastal regions during the day, hence a place's distance from the sea impacts its temperature. The land breeze cools the sea at night. The heat balance is maintained by this exchange of breezes. As a result, regions near the shore experience a mild climate with lower daily and annual temperature ranges than those in the interior.
