Basically the same that happens to heat energy left anywhere else. It can stay warm for a while, but eventually, the heat will dissipate.

What happens to a suspension if it is left to sand?
the sand dissolves in the water
How is heat transferred to the sand on a beach?
The energy from the Sun adds energy to the molecules of the outermost layer of sand, which radiates infrared energy and also conducts thermal energy down into the sand.
What is an example of energy absorption?
The heat Sand absorbs from the Sun's rays is an example of energy absorption
How is specific heat related to thermal energy?
specific heat is the amount of thermal energy needed to raise the temperature of an object. for example, the water on the beach and the sand on the shore are absorbing the same amount of thermal energy from the sun but the water (which has high specific heat) is cold, and the sand (with low specific heat) is very hot.
When bullet penetrates into bag of sand what type of energy it exert?
The kinetic energy of the speeding bullet is converted to heat and sound energy.
How is specific heat related to thermal heat?
specific heat is the amount of thermal energy needed to raise the temperature of an object. for example, the water on the beach and the sand on the shore are absorbing the same amount of thermal energy from the sun but the water (which has high specific heat) is cold, and the sand (with low specific heat) is very hot.
The fact that desert sand is very hot in the day and very cold at night is evidence that sand has a low specific heat capacity or high specific heat capacity?
It has a very low specific heat because it absorbs and releases heat energy very readily.
What is an an example of absorption?
The heat Sand absorbs from the Sun's rays is an example of energy absorption
Which item requires the least energy to increase its temperature lounge chair sand or water Explain your answer in terms of this item's specific heat?
Sand needs least energy to increase the temperature as its specific heat is very low compared to that of water. Water needs more energy to increase its temperature as its specific heat capacity is higher.
How does the sun heat the sand?
The sun's rays are made up of three types of electromagnetic radiations - UV, visible light and near IR. The infrared rays fall on the sand and the energy is absorbed as thermal energy, thus heating up the sand. Some of this heat is reflected back into the atmosphere and we can feel even the air above the sand to be hotter.
Does sand absorb more heat sand or soil?
Though sand and soil have the same specific heat, sand absorbs more heat.
When you walk barefoot on hot sand heat is transferred to your feet from the sand?
Heat is transferred by thermal conduction.
