Which effect does latent energy exchange through river flows have on regional climate systems?

💡 Explanation

When river flows carry latent heat, evaporation into the atmosphere occurs because water changes phase, absorbing energy from the surface and cooling the surrounding area, modulating continental air mass characteristics leading to moisture-rich environments. Thus suppression continental air mass formation results rather than alternative effects that depend on radiative forcing or air stability changes.
