The statement that is not true about the influence of oceans on climate is:
D. Ocean water temperatures rise and fall much more quickly than land temperatures do.
- In reality, ocean water temperatures change more slowly than land temperatures due to water's higher specific heat capacity, which means it takes longer for water to heat up or cool down compared to land.
