In most cases, as altitude increases, the air in the troposphere cools. Vertical mixing occurs as a result of warm air rising. However, a layer of cool air may form beneath a layer of warm air on occasion. Temperature/thermal inversion refers to this deviation from normal temperature.
When an inversion occurs, polluted areas (such as London and Donora PA) experience unhealthy air and an increase in smog because pollutants are trapped at ground level rather than circulating away.

Answer:

A. cool climates compared to climates further inland.

Explanation:

As water can resist temperature changes due to the bonding of relatively hydrogen bonds that breaks giving rise to relatively average temperature. Large bodies of water such te oceans and lakes and seas affect the climate of areas as water absorbs latent heat and keeps climate in ranges.

As the weather is modified by earth's rotation, mountains oceans and currents as the warm air rises and the cold air descend and thus moves from west to east in the direction of rotation motion when moving away from the equator.
