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!

6. Why does the north-east coast of Canada remain icebound during the winter
kow [346]

The North East coast of Canada remains icebound during winter

because of forcing of the air. As the North East coast of Canada is

located near to Northern poles and is nearer to sea hence the ports of

eastern coast of Canada freezes and the temperature in that area

becomes less than zero degree during the winter time.

Ocean currents are horizontal continuous flow of water from one place

to other . There are two types of ocean currents warm and cold flowing

along the coastline which will have an impact on climate. Thus these

waters are cold and tend to freeze up the ports early in winters.
