The further you live from an ocean the more likely your climate will be?

The further you live from an ocean, the more likely your climate will be continental.

A continental climate is characterized by large annual temperature ranges, with hot summers and cold winters. This is in contrast to a maritime climate, which is characterized by smaller annual temperature ranges, due to the oceans' moderating effects. The further you live from an ocean, the less influence the ocean has on the climate, and the more likely the climate will be continental.
