locations near large bodies of water usually have ________\na large differences between monthly mean temperatures\nb small diurnal temperature ranges\nc large diurnal temperature ranges\nd fewer people
Answer
Brief Explanations:
Water has a high specific - heat capacity. It heats up and cools down more slowly than land. So, locations near large bodies of water have more stable temperatures throughout the day (small diurnal temperature ranges). Monthly mean temperature differences are also usually smaller, but the key here is the diurnal aspect. Also, large bodies of water often attract people, so D is incorrect.
Answer:
B. Small diurnal temperature ranges
