The bodies of water tend to have moderate temperature swings because of the high heat capacity of water. The heat capacity is the ability of a substance to retain heat energy. The water in seas and oceans become warm during the day time, but take time to loose heat in the night. This gradual loss of heat energy maintains a moderate temperature around the shoreline.

Explain how the water cycling through the atmosphere and hydrosphere affects weather and climate. Contrast weather and climate.

masya89 [10]

First, weather is the atmospheric condition occurring over a short period of time in a relatively small location. Climate, on the other hand, is the overall environmental condition over extended periods of time. Next, the water cycle is when water from the surface evaporates as water vapor under high temperatures and condenses in the atmosphere under lower temperatures and precipitates back to the surface. In the event that water evaporates more than it condenses then the weather will be warm to hot, the ground will be relatively dry, and drought over extender periods of time may ensue. On the other hand, if water condenses and precipitates more than it evaporates, then there will be a rainy season, and may extremely lead to landslides and floods.
