Does water or land reach a higher temperature?

Water (oceans) is slower than land to warm up, and also slower to cool down.

Does the ice cube melt faster on water or land?
The melting rate of an ice depends on the temperature of the surrounding. If the temperature is higher in the surrounding then the ice will melt at a faster rate and if the temperature is low then it will take more time to melt. The process of heat exchange is important whether it is air or water.
How does land temperature effect water temperature?
Air temperature greatly affects water temperature. When the sun is strong, it increases the temperature of the air and water. On the other hand, when the sun is less intense, the temperature of the air and water decreases.
What is air that is constantly moving because of the differences in water temperature and land temperature?
Wind.
Why does the water temperature change less than the land temperature?
Water is able to move (unlike the land's surface), and it can be mixed when it is heated. This mixing can cause the heat that's transferred to the water to be averaged with the rest of the water, which isn't being heated. If you were to dig deep enough into the land's surface, you would find that the temperature of the land changes very little far below the surface.
If Specific heat of water is greater than that of land This means?
Water heats and cools slower than land. It is because the specific heat is the amount of heat that it takes to be raised to a certain temperature. If the heat is higher it would take longer to heat and cool. That is my interpretation anyways.
Does the temperature of water change more slowly than the temperature of land?
Yes, water has a higher thermal capacity.
Why might a higher proportion of water to land influence the temperature variations?
The high specific heat of water.
What does water and land have to do with air temperature?
Water and land can affect the temperature
Can a tsunami get higher than a mountain?
arccording to far back the water has drawn and how low your land is it may reach
How do you think the temperature of the ocean compares with the temperature of the land nearby?
Land heats more rapidly and to higher temperatures than water does, and cools quicker to lower temperatures than water. Ocean temperatures are more moderate than land temperatures.

What is the temperature difference in land and water breezes?
the temperature of breezes over water is much cooler than over land because the sunlight is reflected of the water instead of absorbed by the land
What changes temperature faster the ocean water or land?
the land of course
Which changes temperature more rapidly land or water?
Land tends to change temperature more rapidly than water. This is because land has a lower specific heat capacity compared to water, meaning it requires less energy to change its temperature. As a result, land can heat up and cool down more quickly than water.
Where is the temperature range more among land water and desert?
The temperature range would be greater on the land of a desert.
What does the temperature of the land or water influence?
The water cycle and cloud formation.
