D)radiative cooling

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Evaporation plays a significant role in the temperature differences between adjacent water and land locations. Water bodies have a moderating effect on temperature because a large amount of incoming solar energy is used for evaporation, leading to cooler temperatures compared to land, where less energy is used for evaporation.
