Why are most beaches often considerably cooler than nearby inland locations on hot summer afternoons?
B
A sea breeze develops due to the higher specific heat of water and the lower specific heat of land.
slowly, due to water’s high specific heat
the air temperature being higher over the land than over the ocean
expansion, cooling to the dewpoint, and condensation
The air pressure over the land is lower than the air pressure over the ocean, and a breeze blows from the ocean.
interaction of the hydrosphere with the moving atmosphere
water having a higher specific heat than land
