Why do areas in the middle of a large continent generally have more extreme differences in temperature than areas near the coastline?
a.
oceans change temperature slowly and regulate the temperature of nearby land.
b.
there are generally more clouds near the oceans.
c.
landlocked areas are usually at a lower altitude than coastline areas.
d.
coastlines are usually surrounded by mountains that block air masses.

A. Oceans change temperature slowly and regulate the temperature of nearby land.

Explanation:

Large bodies of water have the characteristic of holding heat from the sun longer than the ground. They also have the characteristic of cooling more slowly. This eventually interferes with the climate of the regions of the same continent and causes areas in the middle of a large continent to have more extreme temperature differences than areas near the coast.

In short, we can say that this is because oceans change temperature slowly and regulate the temperature of the nearby land. Since water retains heat longer than the ground, the temperature of the coastal regions remains practically constant, because during the day it is still hot, the water absorbs the heat of the sun and at night, when it should be cold, the slow irradiation. The heat absorbed by the body of water causes the surrounding air to heat up, maintaining the temperature.
