Why do continental interiors of continents experience the moderating effect?
Interiors of continents are too distant to experience the moderating effect. As a result, climates of continental interiors have great seasonal differences of temperatures and a mean annual temperature below the latitudinal average.
Where is the nearest city to the Atlantic Ocean?
Three cities on the North European Plain that are progressively farther inland illustrate the effect. Antwerp, BELGIUM, is nearest the Atlantic Ocean; Warsaw, POLAND, is a mid-distance away; and Saratov, RUSSIA, is farthest from the ocean.
Why do wind and air masses move onshore?
Winds and air masses of moderate temperature that originate over oceans move onshore to diminish differences in winter and summer temperatures in coastal areas of continents. Interiors of continents are too distant to experience the moderating effect.
What happens to the ocean’s temperature in winter?
In winter, the ocean is still in the slow process of transferring heat energy stored during the summer into the atmosphere.
