Why do coastal areas have cooler summers than inland areas at the same latitude?
observations of the weather
temperature and precipitation
the uneven heating of the Earth by the sun
The higher the latitude, the colder the air temperature.
stream-like movements of water that happen near the surface of the ocean
sea level
because bodies of water heat up and cool off more slowly than land
the curve of Earth
Climates in higher latitudes are generally colder than climates in lower latitudes. What causes some areas of Earth to receive less intense solar energy than others?

temperature and precipitation
the uneven heating of the Earth by the sun
The higher the latitude, the colder the air temperature.
