Question

1. what might be a reason for the difference in the climate conditions between a city on the coast and one far from the coast? the ocean has a moderating effect on the climate of the city near the coast. the city on the coast receives more sunlight. the land has a moderating effect on the climate of the city far from the coast. the city far from the coast is wetter.

Explanation:

The ocean has a high - heat capacity. It can absorb and store a large amount of heat, which moderates the temperature of coastal areas. Coastal cities tend to have milder winters and cooler summers compared to inland cities. Sunlight receipt is not mainly determined by being coastal or inland. Land has less moderating effect than the ocean. Inland cities are generally drier, not wetter.

Answer:

The ocean has a moderating effect on the climate of the city near the coast.
