The climate in the coastal Pacific Northwest is more moderate than further inland. What causes this to occur?
O The soil and rock in the geosphere cool off and heat up more slowly than the ocean waters in the hydrosphere, so temperatures near the ocean are more moderate.
O The mountain snow in the cryosphere cools off the atmosphere and the geosphere in coastal areas, so temperatures near the ocean are more moderate.
O The ocean waters in the hydrosphere cool off and heat up more slowly than the soil and rock in the geosphere, so temperatures near the ocean are more moderate.
O The air temperature in the atmosphere heats up more rapidly over near-shore ocean waters of the hydrosphere, so temperatures near the ocean are more moderate.
