Question

Why do continental position and size influence the climate of a region?

O a. Large water bodies absorb and maintain energy for longer than continents.
O b. Continents release energy slower than water bodies, thus influencing the regional climate.
O c. More rain occurs over continents than over the oceans, thus influencing the global atmospheric circulation.
Continental position and size are irrelevant to climate

Answer 1

The correct answer is:
b. Continents release energy slower than water bodies, thus influencing the regional climate.

Continental landmasses heat up and cool down more rapidly than water bodies, which can lead to temperature variations and influence the regional climate.
