Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Water has a higher specific heat than land, which means it can absorb and retain more thermal energy. As a result, water bodies tend to cool more slowly than land. This is why coastal areas often have milder temperatures and why large bodies of water like oceans and lakes can moderate the climate in nearby regions. While water bodies can be influenced by continentality (the difference between inland and coastal temperatures), this is not a characteristic that distinguishes them from land. Water also does not warm more quickly than land, as it takes more energy to raise the temperature of water than it does for land.
