why are cities near seas....

why are cities near seas or large bodies of water not as cold in the winter and not as hot in the summer?
-
Because water takes longer to change temperature. Therefore when winter comes along the sea stays warm longer and when summer comes along the sea stays cooler from winter
-
didn't pay attention during primary school science lessons?
-
All return back to teacher
-
And not forgetting warm ocean currents may move in anytime bringing some respite to the cold weather.

i heard utensils in houses / flats / apartments etc near the sea tend to get rusty more easily
is this hearsay credible? -
really, i didn't know
-
differential material thermal conductivity loh

yup, don't know how i got an a* for english science and math in psle.Originally posted by Plastic Bag:didn't pay attention during primary school science lessons? -
As land conducts and loses heat more easily than water, during summer the air above land is of a lower pressure than the air above sea, air is then pushed from the sea onto land area as according to the pressure gradient (where it is pushed from an area of higher pressure to an area of lower pressure, thus forming sea breeze).Originally posted by unclebutcher:why are cities near seas or large bodies of water not as cold in the winter and not as hot in the summer?
Vice versa, during winter the air above land has a higher pressure compared to the air above sea, therefore there will be land breeze (whereby air is pushed outwards from the land area into the sea area, which forms the so-called land breeze). -
The sea spray is salty and that speeds up corrosion.Originally posted by Phoebie:i heard utensils in houses / flats / apartments etc near the sea tend to get rusty more easily

so what's the answerOriginally posted by unclebutcher:yup, don't know how i got an a* for english science and math in psle. 
-
it is called the continental effect and maritime effect...check ur sec school geog textbook
-
its the extra salinity of the air which corrodes and rusts metal objects (iron for the case of rusting) fasterOriginally posted by Kuali Baba:The sea spray is salty and that speeds up corrosion. -
Oh yea? Tell me why it isn't accurate. I studied Geog for A levelsOriginally posted by MARK1992:it is called the continental effect and maritime effect...check ur sec school geog textbook
the landbreeze seabreeze post isnt very accurate -
because it opens up alot of tradeable goods.

Shipping used to be the best means of long distance transport...

Got that sea breeze and land breeze thingy is it...

Go study Geog! No surfing sgforums for you!Originally posted by MARK1992:sorry la what u want me to do? -
Trade and food (e.g. fish, crab, octopus, squid, prawns)
