The ocean regulates temperatures, keeping them mild year-round, in climate regions. a. continental b. moderate c. polar d. tropical

The correct answer is - B. moderate.

In the moderate climate regions, one of the biggest, if not the biggest modifier of the climate is the ocean with its currents and the air masses that they bring with them.

Because of the thermal properties of the water to warm up and cool down slowly, thus maintaining a more stable and less varying temperature, this regions have mild climate for most of the year.

A perfect example are the British Isles, where the ocean currents are making the climate mild all year-round, with the summers being with temperatures around 25 C degrees, the winters around 0 C degrees, with the day and night variations being very small, and the precipitation and humidity relatively high.

the proximity of water was an advantage to western europe and its culture was able to flourish as a result. trade and travel by sea were easier and safer in historical times.
