Question

why does a coastal area have less variation in temperature than a noncoastal area? temperatures feel cool all year round due to the duration of daylight. temperatures change from warm to cool depending on the season. the temperatures on land change more rapidly than temperatures on water. the air is warm because warm water moves from the equator to the poles.

Explanation:

Water has a high specific - heat capacity. It takes more energy to change the temperature of water compared to land. So, land temperatures change more rapidly than water temperatures. Coastal areas are influenced by the nearby water bodies, which moderate the temperature, resulting in less temperature variation.

Answer:

The temperatures on land change more rapidly than temperatures on water.
