What is the main reason for the moderating effect of the sea on coastal areas?

The sea causes cool air from the sea to flow inland, regulating the temperature (correct)
The sea causes dry warm air from interior Sindh and Punjab to flow towards the coast in winters
The sea creates a low pressure area, causing dry warm air from the interior to flow towards the coast
The sea retains its warmth in winters, causing cold air from coastal areas to flow towards the sea

How does the altitude of an area affect its average temperatures?

The atmosphere is heated directly by the short-wavelength solar radiation
The atmosphere is heated from the bottom by long-wave radiation from the Earth's surface (correct)
The short-wavelength solar radiation is poorly absorbed by the air particles (gases and water vapors)
The long-wave radiation from the Earth's surface is better absorbed by gas molecules and water vapors

What is the main characteristic of a continental climate?
