Answer:

The day/night temperature difference is much larger on land than the ocean because (c) the ocean has a larger heat capacity.

Explanation:

The ocean has a remarkable capacity to store heat. This is why its temperature is more stable than on land. Solar energy is gradually absorbed through the surface to the depth and that energy is moved around with their currents.

Ocean water can store huge amounts of solar energy, that is, from heat, which is released progressively. This property is what makes the ocean the great climate regulator and, therefore, two extreme types of climate can be recognized: the maritime and the continental.

The surface of the continents does not store large amounts of heat, and therefore, its thermal reserve is very scarce, so that the soil heats up very quickly during the day, but at night it cools in the same way. The heat has no time to penetrate the earth.

I hope this answer helps you!

How were you going to solve the problems brought by climate change in South Africa<br>​
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

Climate change is a global phenomenon. The intensity of the impacts will vary across the globe. For example, in the low lying islands, sea level rise will be the obvious impact, cause the water wells/bores to become salty. This will also pose threat for crops and plants to grow. For larger islands and continents(as is for South Africa), increasing temperature will lead to prolonged dry season and drought. Also frequency of rainy season leading to flooding. In similar context, will also affect food production.

Back to the question, how were you going to solve the problem? This is a tough question that have challenged scientists, academics, policy makers and the ordinary citizens like us for decades now. There are two words commonly used when dealing with impacts of climate change, Adaptation and mitigation.

For adaptation, one have to look on tangible solutions to response to the impacts. Example for salt water killing crops, plant crops that can withstand brackish water. This is only an example.

For mitigation, this is what our leaders have been discussing during the COP conferences. To reduce the amount of greenhouse as including CO2 pumped into the atmosphere by industries.

So the question, both adaptation and mitigation measure will have to be adopted. But you cannot solve the problem, only adapted to the changes.
