Question

How does the indented coastline affect the climate of a region?

Solution


  • Large bodies of water take longer to warm or cool than the land does, so coastal regions generally see lower temperatures during the summer and warmer temperatures during the winter than areas that are further inland.
  • When warm air from the inland areas meets the cool sea air, moisture and water droplets form fog, which is far less common further from the sea.
