Question

Which of these statements best explains how oceans influence climate by storing heat? oceans cool off very quickly at night and cause cool air from the land to blow towards sea. oceans cool off very quickly at night and cause cool air from the sea to blow towards land. oceans take a long time to cool at night and cause cool air from the land to blow towards sea. oceans take a long time to cool at night and cause cool air from the sea to blow towards land?

Answer 1

The last statement is correct. Water stores heat better than land mass, so when the heat that is stored in land cools, the heat particles in the air over the ocean is packed very closely and want to be further away from each other. That causes the wind to blow towards land, where it is more room for particles. I hope that made sense.

Answer 2

D. Oceans take a long time to cool at night and cause cool air from the sea to blow toward land.
