Islands in the middle of the oceans (for example, Great Britain, Hawaii, Bermuda) tend to have more stable climates with smaller temperature fluctuations than regions of the same mass surrounded by land (for example, continents). Use your knowledge of heat energy, specific heat, and heat transfer to explain these facts.

I think the best explanation to this one is the distribution of the light or heat in the earths surface. Based on the fact that the earth is round, and also it is tilted by a certain angle, with that fact, the distribution of light would be affected. With that reason, the places where there is more light or heat energy would suffer only 2 kinds of climate which is a tropical country. And the factors that affects the climate is the evaporation of water because its the number factor why season, climates and also storms are forms.
