Soil is solid. Its molecules are close to one another so it heats faster. It also cools faster. Water is liquid. Molecules in liquids are farther apart so water heats more slowly............

Yes, land cools faster.
No. Land cools faster than water.
The land cools faster than water.
It absorbs heat faster
land loses heat faster than H20
The lava itself is not different, it is the environment that is different. Water is much denser than air and has a higher heat capacity, meaning it takes more energy to heat it up. As a result, lava will lose heat to water extremely quickly, and so will cool much faster than it can on land.
Large bodies of water store an enormous amount of heat energy that feeds the storm. When the storm moves over land, it loses its source of fuel.
Soil will lose heat faster than water. This depends on the specific heat of the two substances you are comparing. Specific heat of a substance is the amount of energy required to raise its temperature by 1 degree celsius. It also describes the amount of energy the substance would have to lose to change the temperature by one degree. The specific heat of water is unusually high (1 calorie/gram of water). The specific heat of granite, which is similar to the specific heat of soil minerals, is only 0.19 calorie/gram of granite). Dry soil will lose heat more slowly than wet soil.
It absorbs heat faster

bodies of water tend to have more object in and animals that produce their own heat. it also absorbs heat faster than land. water actually would lose heat faster if it didn't gain it faster. It's a more precarious kind of substance than earth is. but heat from the light reflecting off the moon and the fish in the water slow the temperature drop.
25 times faster
The specific heat of both are essentially the same. i.e. it doesn't.
25 times faster
Soil absorbs heat much faster than water, but water does not have air in between like soil so it doesnt lose heat as fast, so water holds heat longer
Near large bodies of water you get "on-shore" and "off-shore" breezes. They're caused by the difference in the rate that land and water gain and lose heat. Water is slower to gain heat, but also slower to lose it. Land is quicker to gain heat, and quicker to lose it. So, say for example, it is summer in Florida. The water is about 80 degrees F. The sand will be over 100, and the land in general will be in at least the 90s. This difference makes the breeze go from the water to the land. At night, the land cools off more quickly and becomes cooler than water, so the breeze reverses.

Yes, water has a higher specific heat capacity, meaning that it requires more energy to heat water to the same temperature as a piece of land. Water also reflects more incoming radiation. Land is dark, rough, and solid, which all contribute to the absorption of the radiation. Unlike water, land is unable to retain heat for as long as water. This is one reason why people who live near bodies of water experience less temperature extremes than those who don't live near water. The water retains heat gathered in the summer during the winter (keeping the area warmer), and keeps an area cooler in the summer while it collects heat.
Yes but the rates are different. It takes longer to heat up the water than it does for land. So, at night whenever the land had already cool down, the water is still actually warm. And heat transfers from hot to cold. That's why sea breeze flow to land.
cus its uncoverd your letting all the heat out
