Which statement best describes how the distance from a large river affects an area’s climate in the summer? Regions far from rivers experience less variation in air temperatures. Regions far from rivers have land surfaces that remain cool during the entire season. Regions near rivers have water surfaces that rapidly change in temperature from cold to hot. Regions near rivers experience winds from the water that prevent extreme temperature changes.

Regions far from rivers experience less variation in air temperatures.

Explanation:

Regions close to a river experience large diurnal and nocturnal temperature variation between the air around this region and the river due to the unequal heating and the cooling of the river and the sorrounding land. This directly affects the region around the river as the temperature of the air around this region is directly affected by the temperature of the land (which cools and heats up rapidly when compared to the river whose temperature varies only slightly).

Regions far from rivers experience less variation in air temperatures.

Explanation:

because the person above said so :) ;)
