Explain how large water bodies prevent extreme temperature in areas around them. Class 7

Answer:

In large water bodies nearer areas during day, the land heats up faster than water, it causes warm air above land to rise. So cooler air from the sea flows towards the land (sea breeze), keeping the temperature moderate.

At night, land cools down faster than water in the sea. The air above the sea remains warmer and rises up, while the cooler air from the land moves towards the sea (land breeze). This movement of air helps prevent extreme temperatures areas near the large water bodies.
