Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Continentality refers to the greater range between maximum and minimum temperatures that occurs in inland areas distant from large bodies of water. This is because water has a high specific heat, which means it can absorb and release heat energy more slowly than land, creating a moderating effect on coastal areas. Heat dome refers to a high-pressure system that traps hot air and can lead to extreme heat waves. The maritime effect refers to the moderating influence of large bodies of water on nearby land areas.
