Question

Just explain why temperature is different at coastal areas rather than inland ignore data

2. If you live near a large body of water (i.e. in Newport Beach), there are often much smaller variations in daytime high and nighttime low temperatures during summer than it is further inland (i.e. Chapman University). Explain why this is the case based on your data and information discussed in this experiment.

Answer 1

during the day time land heats up much faster than the water, and the land cools down very fast than the water, this because of the difference of specific heat capacity of this materials, water has high specific heat capacity which means energy required to rise by one degree is more, so a large water body like ocean will have great capacity of heat. so ocean will not heats up much and the region near to this ocean along the coast will experience the same cool effect or there will not be much contrast on the day/night temperature like inland.
