What causes differences in heating and cooling rates of land and water from the ocean?

Water has a higher specific heat and takes longer to warm up. The ground has a lower specific heat and warms up fast. That's why the sand on the beach is hot but the water is cool. It depends on the time of the day and the season of the year.

What does wind result from?
Wind can result from a number of atmospheric events. The man cause of wind if the uneven heating and cooling of the earths surface due to the atmosphere, sun, and ocean.
Where do deep currents flow along in the ocean?
deep ocean currents form by the differences in the density of ocean water
What are land breezes caused by?
the difference in specific heat capacity between land and water
What is causes by the uneven heating of the earth and it atmosphere?
Pole. Specifically the North and South Poles. :)It is one of the factors that cause what we know as weather. Wind, ocean currents and evaporation, and clouds. Uneven heating works with the earth's rotation, upon the the land and seas to cause weather patterns flowing across the earth.It causes convective flows that are the major source of the Earth's winds.Convection occurs when air is heated and rises, then is cooled and sinks again. Uneven heating works with the Earth's rotation to cause weather patterns flowing across the earth. This creates unique climates based on the location of land and water areas.
How would glaciers be affected by changes in climate such as global warming and global cooling?
In global warming, the glaciers would melt, then they would flow into the ocean, then they could affect ocean currents, changing the climate, in some areas. And with global cooling, there would be more glaciers, depleting the ocean waters.
What does the the uneven heating and cooling of land and ocean create?
Weather systems
Does patterns of heating and cooling result in ocean currents?
No, tectonic plates underground and the moon affects the ocean
What does the unequal heating of earths surface cause?
It causes wind, with help from the moon's gravitational pull it causes ocean currents and it also helps with the seasons and weather.Windsconvection currentsUnequal heating of the earth's surface results in wind. That is what happens, if that's your question.
What happens if uneven heating an cooling of land and ocean create?
it creates hot sand and warm water
What do patterns of heating and cooling in the atmosphere result in?
Ocean currents. This could also apply to wind currents.
What causes forces that affect currents in the ocean?
the uneven heating of the earth and change in the weather.
What causes differences in density of ocean water?
the presence of minerals such as sodium cholride,magnesium etc causes the difference in ocean water ....
What is the main reason water from the ocean turns to vapor and then evaporates into the air?
Two physical changes occur: evaporation by heating and condenstion by cooling.
What does the unequal heating of earths cause?

Wind can result from a number of atmospheric events. The man cause of wind if the uneven heating and cooling of the earths surface due to the atmosphere, sun, and ocean.
What force between the ocean the wind causes surface currents?
Ocean currents are dure to a cobination of wind, the Corilis effect, and temperature differences.
How does the uneven heating in the ocean cause convection currents?
it causes the difference in density, denser water flows to the less dense parts
