What does the high specific heat of water have to do with the convection currents in the air at the seashore?

Water'specific heat capacity is 4200 J/Kg°C . This high specific heat capacity suggests that the water will travel long distances without losing heat . This makes the convection currents in the air last longer.

How does differences in density cause convection currents in ocean water?
Convection occurs whenever a less dense liquid is beneath a denser liquid.
Why do coffee grounds sink after adding cold water?
Induction of stronger convection currents is all i've got
How does conduction occur in a hot water system?
Conduction doesn't occur in fluids. Convection currents are the form in which heat travels in fluids.
Does convection happen when hot water displaces cold water?
Sort of. In truth, convection happens mainly over a heat source, and not just with water (one example is the Earth's inner mantle). The hotter material closer to the source rises (because the molecules have more kinetic energy), but loses that energy once it reaches the surface, sinking back down as it gets slightly more cool and dense. Since this is a continuous cycle, convection "currents" often occur. Check out this link for a picture of convection currents: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f5/ConvectionCells.svg
When you heat water by which method heat travels in water?
There is more than one way to heat water, so I would not apply this to all situations, but in general, when you heat water you create convection currents which cause the hotter water to mix in with the colder water.
What are the currents called when water is boiled?
Convection currents
How are convection currents in water like convection currents in earths mantle?
They both are the same because they are currents that move like waves
Which diagram correctly indicates why convection currents form in water why water is heated?
which diagram correctly indicates why convection currents form in water when water is heated
What is transfer of heat by currents of air or water?
convection
What is the transfer of heat by currents of air or water?
convection
How does water get heat?
Through conduction and convection currents
How are convection currents in the mantle and in the oceans similar How are they different?
The ocean currents are colder than the currents in the mantle,and the are located in different areas.
This cycling of ocean water along currents is an example of?
is convection
This cycling of ocean water along currents is an example of .?
is convection
Is warming ocean water through water currents radiation?
No. Heat transfer through a liquid or gas by currents is convection.
What role do convection currents play as you heat a pot of water?
The role convection currents play as you heat a pot of water is transferring heat by movements of a liqiud or a gas because when when convection occurs it occurs in a circular pattern.
The difference in air temperature over land compared to over water causes convection currents in the atmosphere. How would a person at the beach experience these convection currents?
