How do ocean temperatures affect temperature on land?
The water absorbs heat and keeps gives the temperature a consistency.
Why does the global ocean absorb much of the solar energy that reaches the earth?
Because it has a greater surface than land, and therefore absorbs more solar energy. Also because the ocean is generally colder than land (ocean has less thermal energy than land) , and higher energy goes to lower energy.
Does land absorbs heat faster?
Yes, land absorbs heat faster than water because it has a lower specific heat capacity. This means that land can heat up and cool down more quickly than water.
Which absorbs heat faster sea breeze during daytime?
Sea breeze absorbs heat faster during the daytime because the land heats up more quickly than the ocean due to differences in specific heat capacity. As a result, the air above the land rises and cooler air from the sea moves in to replace it, creating a sea breeze.
What makes ocean breeze blow toward land by day?
The ocean warms more slowly than the land.
Is land warmer than the sea?
now i am no expert but i believe that because water is constantly moving and being effected by wind and the water cycle and land absorbs the heat and does not pass it on as easily then land holds more heat than water does
Is a result of the specific heat differences between land and ocean?
Breezes are created when there are specific heat differences between land and ocean.
What is accurate about heat absorptionand loss?
land absorbs and loses heat faster than sea water
What is accurate about heat absorption?
land absorbs and loses heat faster than water -Kacy d.
Why is the land warmer in the daytime when compared to the ocean?
Land warms up faster than the ocean during the day due to its lower specific heat capacity, meaning it requires less energy to increase its temperature. Additionally, the land absorbs and retains heat more efficiently than water, which has a higher capacity to store heat and can distribute it more evenly. As a result, the temperature of the land rises more quickly during the day, while the ocean tends to remain cooler. This temperature difference contributes to local weather patterns and sea breezes.
When does land and water absorb and lose heat?
Land absorbs and loses heat more quickly than water. This is because land has a lower specific heat capacity than water, meaning it takes less energy to raise or lower its temperature. As a result, land heats up and cools down faster than water, leading to temperature differences between land and water bodies.
Why is ocean water cold at day?
Water changes temperature much more slowly than air does. The land gets warmer as it absorbs heat from the sun, but the water is slower to absorb the heat, so it stays cooler than the land. However at night, the water retains more heat than the land, so that it will often be warmer than the surrounding air, at least for a while.
