Specific heat refers to the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a substance. In the context of local winds, specific heat affects the temperature of the land and water. Land has a lower specific heat compared to water, meaning it heats up and cools down faster. This difference in specific heat causes differential heating, leading to temperature differences and the formation of local wind patterns such as sea breezes and land breezes.

How would local winds be affected if water and land absorbed heat at the same rate?

If a student was transferring metal to a calorimeter and water splashes out will it affect the specific heat of the metal?
yes, if there is not enough water the heat will be affected because not as much heat can be held.
How does the ocean affect coastal cilmate?
the specific heat keeps the ocean temperature more even.....APEX.
What is the ultimate source of the heat energy that causes the winds you feel?
The Heat Cycle
How does heat affect the movement of molecules in a rubber?
Heat does not affect it. It expands with coolness. It contracts with heat.
How would local winds be affected if water and lands absorbrd and released heat at the same rate?
it will be affect by any direction, depending on the features of the area
How would local winds be affected if water and land absorbed and released heat at the same rate?
Local winds are driven by temperature differences in areas fairly close to each other. If water and land absorbed and released heat at the same rate, there wouldn't be any temperature differences and nothing to power local winds. See the related link for further information.

How do mountains create their own local winds?
Mountains can not create a wind. Winds are the result of the heat coming from the Sun and the heat radiated by the Earth into space. They are the atmospheres response to the differential of heat within the atmosphere. All mountains do is modify the the flow of the wind as they act as barriers to this flow.

How does the specific heat of water affect climate?
it makes the coastal weather milder.
Does heat waves affect Australia?
Heat Waves - meaning sudden or unexpected or unusual temporary increases in local temperature - affect pretty much everywhere on the globe. They also affect the planets Venus and Mars, for certain.
Factors affect heat gained or lost?
-heat capacity of the object (equal to mass times the specific heat capacity of the object) -overall change in temperature.
What would happen to global winds if there was no more heat energy reached earth?
no more winds and we'd lose heat
How does nearness to a large body of water affect a coastal city's temperature?
It is because specific heat.
