Question

How do mountains and bodies of water affect patterns of heating and cooling

Answer 1

because high altitude is colder which is the mountains and the lower altitude is warmer which is the ocean

Answer 2

Large bodies of water affect the climate by serving as heat sinks. Oceans and other large bodies of water absorb heat during summer months and radiate it back out during the winter, moderating temperatures for nearby land masses. They also carry heat from tropical regions to other areas via currents.
