In what ways do land and water areas respond differently to equal insolation?

Water circulates, and holds heat better than soil and rock. Therefore water will be warmer in the morning than surrounding ground (usually), and cooller in the late afternoon. When soil is frozen only the top few inches might thaw on a particularly warm day, while still water will tend to distribute the heat through the top few feet.
Sand and frost or snow raises the albedo of a surface, reflecting light and heat. Water tends to be darker, absorbing more heat. Dark, damp soil not overgrown has a low albedo, absorbing more heat yet.

What are isoyhets?
They are lines on a rainfall map showing areas of equal rainfall, similar to isobars on a weather map.
What is is the geostrophic wind?
Air that is high in the atmosphere which blows parallel to the isobars (lines that connect areas of equal pressure)
What are line connecting points of equal temperature?
The answer is very simple it's an isotherm map because an isobar map are lines that connect areas of the same pressure therefore lines that connect areas of the same temperature is and isotherm map
Which line on a weather map indicates areas where the temperature is the same?
An isotherm line connects points of equal temperature.
Why do isotherms shift during the seasons of the year?
Isotherms are contour lines connecting areas of equal temperature. So as the temperatures change during the year, the isotherm will shift.
Do objects have equal acceleration?
no, most objects accelerate differently.
Are African Americans treated differently in US today?

How do you divide a square into 3 equal parts differently?
Cut it from the top and straight down, and make 3 equal sized pieces.
Is 0.7910 equal to 0.791?
Yes, it is the same number just written a little differently.
Do congruent triangles have equal areas?
yes
Surface area of a pentagonal prism?
Sum of the surface areas or each of its seven faces. Only the two pentagonal bases should have equal areas; there is no need for any of the other faces to have equal areas.
Is it true that when equilateral triangles have equal perimeters they must also have equal areas?
Yes.
What does equal area means?
It means the areas are the same.
How many cups of coffee equal 5mg of adderall?
None! Coffee and adderall work very differently.
