How does the absorption of energy from the sun differ from land and water?

Land absorbs heat energy from the sun quickly, but it also releases the heat (cools down) more quickly than water.
Water reflects more of the energy than land does, so it takes longer to warm. Water also holds the heat longer than land.
This is why the sea is warmer for swimming at the very end of summer, even when the land is cooling.

Energy that is absorbed by land and water is changed into?
some of the energy,however, is absorbed by the land and water and change into heat
What transfer of energy from land or water to air by direct contact?
The transfer of energy from land and water to air by direct contact is called conduction.
When light energy is absorbed by an object the energy is converted to?
atmosphere, land and water Also Thermal Energy!
What term Describes the amount of energy available to heat the earth's land water and air?
Energy budget
Why does a tornado lose strength when it passes over land?
They don't. Hurricanes lose strength as they pass over land. This is because their gain their energy from the moisture that evaporates off warm ocean water. When a hurricane strikes land it is cut off from this energy source.
How do water and land surfaces differ in their abilities to absorb and radiated heat energy?
Land absorbs more heat energy than water does.
Where is energy absorbed in the water cycle?
Evaporation involves absorption of energy. It uses this energy to evaporate water.
How are food webs on land and water differ?
one is created in water the other on land
Energy that is absorbed by land and water is changed into?

How do the heating of land water differ?
Land heats more rapidly and to higher temperatures than water. Land also cools more rapidly and to lower temperatures than water
What is accurate about heat absorption?
land absorbs and loses heat faster than water -Kacy d.
How fast land absorb heat?
Absorption of heat by land(compared to water)Specific heat of land is 0.84J/kg and that of water is 4.2J/Kg.So:-4.2-0.84=3.6Therefore, land gets heated up 3.6 times faster than water.
How do land snails and pond snail differ?
because land snails normally stay on land and pond snails stay in the water
How does an ocean differ from a continent and an island?
An ocean is a large body of water. An island is a piece of land in a body of water. A continent is a large body of land.
How does an ocean differ from continents and an island?
An ocean is a large body of water. An island is a piece of land in a body of water. A continent is a large body of land.
