Detailed explanation-1: -Cooling and Heating less drastically if compared with large mass adjacent to water bodies. The change in temperature is not dramatic with different seasons. The water bodies like the Ocean of the region north and south of the tropic allow the release of heat in winter and during summer, it soaks up heat.
Detailed explanation-2: -Ocean currents, including the ocean conveyor belt, play a key role in determining how the ocean distributes heat energy throughout the planet, thereby regulating and stabilizing climate patterns.
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.
