Final answer:

Coastal areas have milder climates due to the moderating effect of oceans on temperature variations.


Explanation:

Coastal areas have less variation in temperature compared to inland areas at the same latitude due to the moderating effect of oceans. The high specific heat of water allows the ocean to absorb and release heat slowly, resulting in milder climates along the coast.
