The surface temperatures on land vary more over the course of a year than the surface temperatures on the ocean because land has a than the ocean does.

Lower heat capacity

Explanation:

The heat or thermal capacity is a physical property defined as the amount of heat a material need in order to elevate a unit in its temperature, this means that water increases its temperature more easily than land.

"hydrogen bonding is the attraction of h atoms in the water molecule (slight + charge) to o atoms in a neighboring water molecule (slight - charge); it is a weak interatomic force. but it is still strong enough to the water molecules "stick" together."
