Yep, water has a high heat capacity which means it absorbs a lot of heat before it changes temperature and once absorbed, it holds onto it. You can't say the same for rocks or especially sand.

Water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit, so at 20 degrees, the water is frozen solid and the rock will no longer fall through it.

When water or ice rub against rock it does what to the rock?
When water rubs against rock, tiny particles of the rock slowly break off and the rock gets smaller. When ice does the same, it does the same thing but a little faster.
Which falls faster a 15 pound bowling bowl or a 5 pound rock?
They will fall the exact same speed. Its one of the laws of physics.
Where a river flows from an area of harder rock to an area of softer rock the softer rock may wear away eventually forming a drop called a?
Water fall
A sedimentray rock composed of what would weather at a faster rate?
Chalk would weather fastest, followed by limestone.
What happens if water freezes in a crack of a rock?
The crack would expand because the water in the rock, as it freezes, expands.
What object would fall faster a rock or a pencil?
All objects fall universally with the same acceleration: 9.8 m/s squared.
How does normal rain effect the weathering of a rock?
This slowly, over time, erodes the rock. Any type of water flowing (in your case, raining) causes erosion. Heavy, intense rainstorms would erode it faster, but and type of rain fall WILL erode away rock.
Why would a smooth rock fall faster than a bungee jumper?
smooth rocks create less friction on air.
Where earthquake waves travel faster whether in rock or water?
Faster in rock. the higher the density, the higher the speed.
What heats faster water or rock?
Rock because it absorbs heat faster more density!! Your welcome my public!!:D
Does rock salt dissolve faster in hot water or lukewarm water or cold water?
Rock salt dissolves fastest in hot water.
How do you dissolve rock sugar in water?
Heat the water to boiling point, then put the rock sugar in
Why does a seismic waves travel faster through solid rock than through water?
Seismic waves travels faster through solid rock than water because their speed depends on the density and composition of material that they pass through.Solid rock is denser than water, hence the energy from seismic waves transfer faster through solid rock than in water.

Which would weather faster a fine grained or a coarse grained igneous rock?
fine grained rock will weaher faster thatn the course grained rock
Would a heavier rock land faster than a smaller rock?
Nope. Galileo proved that the weight of an object has nothing to do with how fast it falls, particularly in a container with no air in it. In one of these airless containers, you would see that a nickel and a feather fall at exactly the same speed.

Water has a higher density than rock. -Gordon Crocker
