Detailed explanation-1: -Why does the Coastal Plain have the mildest climate of all five regions of Virginia? The ocean causes the Coastal Plain to have a mild climate.
Detailed explanation-2: -As such, sand gets heated or cooled more rapidly as compared to water under the similar conditions. Thus a large difference in temperature is developed between the land and the sea due to which land and sea breezes are formed. These breezes make the climate near the sea shore moderate.
Detailed explanation-3: -For example, because the ocean releases heat more slowly than land, coastal areas tend to be more temperate. Upwelling in many coastal regions, such as California, provides a cool contrast in air temperature over the ocean and land that is conducive to frequent summer fog.
Detailed explanation-4: -Coastal areas have humid climate.
Detailed explanation-5: -It’s difficult for the sun to heat up or cool down the sea. Since the sea doesn’t get too hot or cold, the air above the sea also doesn’t get too hot or cold. Therefore places near the sea usually have temperatures that remain fairly constant throughout the year. They have what is known as a moderate climate.
