Explanation:

• The land and ocean absorb solar energy and warm up.
• Air absorbs solar energy and warms up.
• Coastal areas have more moderate climates due to the ocean's moderating effect.
• Warm air rising and cool air sinking creates convection currents and wind.
• The Sun's energy does not warm the ocean and land evenly (land heats and cools faster than water).

Answer:

• The land and ocean absorb energy from the Sun and warm up.
• The air absorbs energy from the Sun and warms up.
• Coastal areas have more moderate climates than inland areas.
• Warm air rises and cool air sinks, creating a convection current and wind.
