| In this image, how does the proximity of the sea affect the earth's temperature? | The water takes a long time to cool down, so in winter, even if the land is cold, the water is not so cold. The air that comes from the sea increases the temperature of the land. |
| The equatorial climate is warm and rainy. Can you explain why? | The area of the equator receives more solar energy than any other, hence the heat. This heat causes a lot of evaporation, which in turn forms clouds, hence the rain. |
