Why can coastal areas have lower temperature than inland areas during the hot weather season?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Sea has a moderating effect

The direct answer is A: the sea has a moderating effect. Water heats and cools more slowly than land. During the hot season, the sea absorbs heat without becoming as hot as land, and sea breezes carry relatively cooler air toward coastal areas. Therefore coastal temperatures can be lower than temperatures far inland, where land heats quickly. Option A is correct because the maritime influence reduces extreme heat. Option B is wrong: seawater does not stop sunlight; sunlight still reaches the coast and heats it. Option C is wrong: coastal areas do become hot, but usually less extremely hot, not completely free from heat. Option D is wrong: inland areas are not generally covered with snow in the hot season; they often become hotter because they are away from the sea. The memory cue is “water changes temperature slowly, so the sea moderates climate.” The effect is relative, so “can be lower” is the careful wording.
