Distance from the sea

• Why do the sea and land heat up at different rates?

  The sea is a liquid so its less dense than the land, meaning it takes longer to heat up but keeps heat for longer

  The land is a solid and is more dense so it absorbs heat faster but also loses heat quickly
• How does the sea keep coastal areas warm in winter?

  By releasing heat
• What would temperatures be like when an area is further away from the sea?

  It would have wider ranges of temperature because the land loses heat quickly
