Best Answer: Because water heats and cools much slower than air, these large bodies of water have a moderating effect on land temperatures. In spring, when air temps over land are getting warmer, the body of water, which stays cooler much longer, cools the air immediately surrounding it. Likewise, in fall and winter, when cold air spreads over the land mass, these bodies of water retain their warmth, preventing temps from getting as cold around them. That is the effect that lakes have on land temperatures. The prevailing winds are also a large factor. Oceans provide land and sea breezes.
If there is no cloud (liquid water) in the parcel, the air temperature in the parcel increases at a rate of 10Â°C for every 1000 meters the parcel is lowered. If there is a cloud in the parcel, it will evaporate because as the parcel warms its capacity for water vapor increases. As long as there is still a cloud (liquid water) in the parcel, just enough water will evaporate to keep the relative humidity at 100% and the dew point temperature equals the air temperature.
