why do areas near large bodies of water rarely havesuddenor extreme temperature changes?

Question

a science quesion

Answer 1

Its the land/water contrast. For example Chicago: in the summer during the day, it is cooler because lake Michigan is cooler then the city thus it cools the city. At night in Chicago most noticeable in the winter the lake is warmer then the city and thus the city is warmer then the outlying suburbs. Water has a high albedo, and takes longer to warm and cool off then a city which is concrete, blacktop, and steel.

Answer 2

Areas near large bodies of water enjoy more equable climate conditions.This is due to the following reasons.
Land is a good absorber as well as good radiator of heat.During day time the land gets heated more than the water surface.As the specific heat of water is more,and the incident solar radiation is utilised in evaporating water from the water surface (instead of raising its temperature),water surface gets less heated than a land surface.Further , the water surface is fairly transparent to solar radiation -- ie , the heating effect penetrates to a considerable depth.Therefore the air above water surface does not get that much opportunity to be heated by solar radiation.So,during day time, the air with this less temperature over sea mixes with the air over the adjacent land surface and brings down the higher temperature over the land surface.
During night, the land ,being a good radiator of heat gives out heat rapidly and cools more than the water surface.Water surface ,on the other hand gives out the heat slowly and remains comparatively warmer than the adejacent land area.This warmer air over water surface mixes with the comparatively cooler air over the adjacent land and makes it warmer.
Thus the water surface does not allow the adjacent land to experience extreme temperatures both during day and night.

Answer 3

Bodies of water take more time to warm because of their larger specific heat capacities and greater depth to warm, than land. In the summer, this means the air over the cooler water will push the warmer air over land, inland. This is called a sea breeze. I live near Chicago, and so the city creates an urban heat island of especially warmer air which makes the lake breeze more noticeable. The exact opposite happens in the winter.

Answer 4

Because water both heats up more slowly and cools down more slowly than land. Therefore, areas near the water will have a narrower range of temperatures than areas that are farther away.

Answer 5

greater suitable in what way? It makes no distinction well-being-smart. the quantity of capability used to via the physique to heat it is so minimum, that is in uncomplicated terms adequate to sign in. that is all a remember of private style determination. individually, water ought to be icy chilly for me to drink it.
