Which temperature pattern is most characteristic of a coastal location compared with an inland location at the same latitude?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Smaller annual range of temperature

Correct answer: A. A coastal place usually has a smaller annual range of temperature than an inland place at the same latitude. The reason is that water has a greater heat capacity than land: it needs more energy to warm and loses heat more slowly when cooling. The sea therefore moderates nearby temperatures, reducing the contrast between summer and winter. B is wrong because coastal places are not necessarily hot throughout the year; a cold current or local winds may make them cool. C is wrong because coastal temperature still changes daily and seasonally, only less strongly on average. D is wrong because coastal places receive sunlight. Memory cue: land heats and cools quickly; water changes slowly, so coasts have milder extremes.
