Answer 2

Around where I live, North America, the land heats up quite a lot come summer. The Atlantic and Pacific not nearly so much. It is very hard to heat up a large body of water partly because it is fairly heat conductive and it also mixes deep and shallow layers. The surface of land is relatively stable and not so conductive.

Answer 3

The specific heat dry land is 800 J/kg*C according to Google.
The specific heat salt water is 3993 J/kg*C according to Google.
I have no idea what the large ocean or large continent weight but kg for kg it takes more heat to raise the temperature of salt water vs dry land.
