7. What effect does proximity to the ocean of a biome have on its climate?

Oceans, seas and other types of large rivers and lakes can effect the climate of the near-by proximity areas. The water in the oceans tend to heat and cool more slowly than land masses.

These areas will stay warmer during the winters while the water in the oceans will remain cooler.
