How can a large body of water, such as an ocean, influence climate?

Ocean winds can carry moisture with them and can bring rain and fog over inland areas.

Rushing water from tides cools the land.

Warm ocean air causes a dry climate.

There is no influence on climate from an ocean.

Northern Switzerland has a fairly cold climate caused by sea winds from the Atlantic Ocean, but southern Switzerland tends to be much warmer and sunnier.

What could cause this difference?

Cool winds cannot blow across a large lake into the south.

Mountains prevent cold air from blowing over into the south.

The south is at a much higher elevation, so it is closer to the sun.

Switzerland has experienced a drastic climate change in the past few years.
