Continentality results in a greater range between maximum and minimum daily and yearly temperatures.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Continentality refers to the effect of distance from the coast on temperature variability. Areas that are far from the coast, such as inland areas or areas in the middle of a large continent, experience greater temperature extremes between seasons and between day and night due to the absence of moderating ocean currents. This results in a wider range between maximum and minimum daily and yearly temperatures.
