The farther you live from an ocean, the more likely your climate will be a a. marine climate. b. tropical climate. c. continental climate. d. subtropical climate.

The correct answer is C.

Continental climate is a type of climate found in the interior of a large landmass.

Being far away from the moderating influence of the ocean, regions with continental climates experience harsh winters and hot summers, with long dry periods. This happens because most of the moisture carried by air masses from the ocean is lost as rainfall before it reaches the interior.

Soil and rock have a much lower heat capacity than water, and they gain and lose heat quicker.

Regions of earth with continental climate are: Siberia, Central Russia and much of North America.
