Because water has a very high specific heat, it is very common that areas near oceans or large lakes tend to have more moderate and warmer climates than those that are away from these big bodies of water.

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

The specific heat of any particular substance is usually defined as the amount of heat energy that is required to raise a unit mass of the material by 1°C. The water has this high heat capacity as a result of which the water bodies such as oceans, seas and lakes tends to become hot and cold at a much slower rate.

This is why the near coastal areas or the areas that are near to water bodies have a moderate type of climate than the areas that are far away from these water bodies.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

Answer:

America is located in the Noerthern and Western Hemispheres

Explanation:

Ok so there are two lines that cut the earth in half, one that goes horizontally called the equator, and one that goes vertically called the prime meridian. the equator divides the world into the northern hemisphere on the top half, and the southern hemisphere on the bottom half. the prime meridian divides the world into the western hemisphere on one side, and the eastern hemisphere on the other. so those two lines kind of make a grid, if you know what i mean. if you look, north america is located on the noethern and western hemisphere, because it is north of the equator, and west of the prime meridian. thank me
