In your own words, define maritime and continental temperature patterns and describe the reasons for these patterns.

"The maritime and continental temperature patterns are, in other words, the climate. This is defined as a pattern of weather over a certain period of time. Individually, maritime means navigation in relationship to a connection with the sea. And continental is a large body of land (i.e., continental U.S.).

The temperatures are always different because of the earth's rotation and the sun warms the side of the earth that is in that direction. When that side of the earth is warmed by the sun it's called summer. On the other side it's called winter."

Answer 1

do it yourself lazy but

Answer 2

I would work that over if I'd were you.  You are not even getting into the maritime effect on the climate on land and the continental effect on the climate overall.  I.e. mild and wet winters compared to cold and harsh winters.  Cooler and wetter summers compared to hotter and more humid summers.  The effect the ocean has due to the fact that water cools and warms slower than land masses.  Keep plugging away my friend.  This would totally be an F in my book.
