Bodies of water have a moderating effect on climate primarily because
Sinking air expands and warms.
the distance from the Equator
longitude and population density
Sinking air compresses and cools.
Winds diverge and air sinks.
water temperatures change more slowly than land temperatures do
The water causes cooler summers and warmer winters.
more slowly because water has a higher specific heat
