Does water hold heat longer than land?
Yes it does.
Does water or land hold heat longer?
Land holds more heat than water because the earth has magma and lava but water doesn't
Why does ice remain longer in Lake Erie than surrounding land areas?
Water has a higher specific heat than land.
How does the absorption of energy from the sun differ from land and water?
Land absorbs heat energy from the sun quickly, but it also releases the heat (cools down) more quickly than water. Water reflects more of the energy than land does, so it takes longer to warm. Water also holds the heat longer than land. This is why the sea is warmer for swimming at the very end of summer, even when the land is cooling.
Does a frog stay in water longer than on land?
Whatever he feels like, Gosh!
Why does water stay cooler than land?
The thermal capacity is higher for water than land, therefore the land is able to cool faster than the water. The water takes a longer time to heat up and cool off than the land.
If Specific heat of water is greater than that of land This means?
Water heats and cools slower than land. It is because the specific heat is the amount of heat that it takes to be raised to a certain temperature. If the heat is higher it would take longer to heat and cool. That is my interpretation anyways.
How long does it take 4 ounces of salt water to evaporate?
it depends but i will take longer than fresh water
How do manatees stay under water longer than the average land dwelling animal?
more predisposed to traveling underwater than other land animals.
Does it take longer for water to change temperature than land?
Yes oceans and to a lesser extent lakes have much more stable temperatures than the air. This is due to the high specific heat capacity of water.
Why does water take longer to melt than tomato sauce?
Because when you are cooking sauce it's thicker then water so it takes longer to heat.
Why do dolphins stay longer on land than in water?
