What else can I help you with?
What part of the earth heat faster water or land?
Land heats up faster than water.
The sun's heat energy causes surface water on the earth to change into water vapor?
evaporation
During a sunny day which earth surface will heat up faster and cool off fastter?
Surfaces with low specific heat capacity, like sand or concrete, will heat up faster. Surfaces with high specific heat capacity, like water or soil, will heat up more slowly but also cool down more slowly.
Does water cool more quickly than land?
Land cools faster because land is floating on the earths surface. Water gets deeper, so the suns heat cant heat the bottom of the ocean as well as the surface
How do you compare the liquid water's heat capacity to most materials at the earth's surface?
Higher
What cooks faster. Whole potato or thin?
Sliced potatoes would cook faster because there is more surface area to absorb the heat
How does convection heat Earth's surface?
Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of a fluid (such as air or water). As the Sun heats the Earth's surface, the air close to the surface absorbs that heat and becomes less dense, causing it to rise. As the warm air rises, cooler air moves in to take its place, creating a cycle of heat transfer that helps warm the Earth's surface.
Which step in the water cycle is described here?
the sun's heat energy causes surface water on the earth to change into water vapor.
Why is surface water cooler than surface soil?
Surface water is typically cooler than surface soil because water has a higher heat capacity, meaning it requires more energy to change its temperature compared to soil. Additionally, water can move and mix more easily, allowing it to distribute heat more efficiently. Soil, on the other hand, has a lower heat capacity and heat conductivity, resulting in faster temperature fluctuations and higher temperatures at the surface.
How water vapour as a greenhouse gas contributes to the greenhouse effect?
Water vapor acts as a greenhouse gas by trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere. When sunlight warms the Earth's surface, water evaporates and enters the atmosphere where it can absorb and re-radiate heat. This process helps regulate the Earth's temperature, similar to how a greenhouse traps heat inside.
What atmosphere in the air is warmed by heat from Earth's surface?
The lower atmosphere, known as the troposphere, is warmed by heat from Earth's surface. This warming is due to the absorption of outgoing radiation by greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and water vapor, which trap heat in the atmosphere.
What happens to that energy from the sun that is absorbed by earth surface?
Energy from the sun that is absorbed by the Earth's surface is reflected back into the atmosphere or absorbed by land and water and transformed into heat.
