Which of the following explains why the temperature of land near water is different than inland a bodies of water reflect the sun that's changing the temperature be Bland near water is at a higher altitude so it's closer to the Sun see the air over the water affects the air and land nearby the water changes land temperatures where it touches the shoreline

Answer 1

The correct explanation is:

C) The air over the water affects the air and land nearby.

Water has a high specific heat capacity, meaning it can absorb and store heat without experiencing drastic temperature changes. This leads to milder temperatures near bodies of water compared to inland areas, where land heats up and cools down more quickly. The air above the water interacts with the surrounding land, which affects local temperatures.
