Water moderate the climate around large bodies of water. as a result, the temperatures in these areas are more mild than inland where the temperatures are more extreme. this is due to water's a) mass. b) polar structure. c) high heat capacity. d) low surface tension.

The correct answer is C. During the day, the water absorbs the sun's rays, and as a result, the ocean warms up. This process takes longer than land, which is why the beach sand is hotter than the water in the beginning of the day. However, at night, the ocean slowly releases the heat, while the beach sand releases it faster. This means the ocean maintains a more stable temperature than the beach, and also explains why the areas of land near the oceans have a more stable temperature (warmer winters, cooler summers) than inland areas.

Hello,

Your brainliest answer would be:

C)high heat capacity.

Plz mark me brainliest!

Hope this helps!
