Does water gain heat or lose heat faster than h20?
land loses heat faster than H20
Does freezing lose heat or add heat?
Endothermic reactions absorb heat, while exothermic reactions emit heat. Both can be used to generate freezing depending on various chemical compounds.
What causes hurricanes to lose energy when it moves on land?
Large bodies of water store an enormous amount of heat energy that feeds the storm. When the storm moves over land, it loses its source of fuel.
Does land lose heat faster than water?
Soil is solid. Its molecules are close to one another so it heats faster. It also cools faster. Water is liquid. Molecules in liquids are farther apart so water heats more slowly............ Andre Ü
Why is it warmer on the coastline in winter?
The heat capacity of ocean water is about four times that of air. The ocean's heat capacity is also much greater than that of land. Therefore, it takes a lot of energy to warm the oceans, but not as much to warm the land. So when the air temperature is warm, it warms the land surface rapidly. The ocean takes much longer to warm, but it holds heat longer. Generally, in summer the land is warmer than the ocean, and in winter the ocean is warmer than the land.
Can proteins absorb or lose heat without changing temperature?
No, proteins can't absorb or lose heat without changing much in temperature. Water has a high heat capacity, so water can absorb or release a great deal of heat energy without changing much in temperature.
Does water gain heat or lose heat faster than h20?
land loses heat faster than H20
Is evaporation heat gain or heat loss?
For what?It requires a heat gain for the water,but a heat loss for whatever the water is in contact with.
Why does the land lose heat more quickly at night than a body of water does?
bodies of water tend to have more object in and animals that produce their own heat. it also absorbs heat faster than land. water actually would lose heat faster if it didn't gain it faster. It's a more precarious kind of substance than earth is. but heat from the light reflecting off the moon and the fish in the water slow the temperature drop.
What patterns can you see in winds that occur near water?
Near large bodies of water you get "on-shore" and "off-shore" breezes. They're caused by the difference in the rate that land and water gain and lose heat. Water is slower to gain heat, but also slower to lose it. Land is quicker to gain heat, and quicker to lose it. So, say for example, it is summer in Florida. The water is about 80 degrees F. The sand will be over 100, and the land in general will be in at least the 90s. This difference makes the breeze go from the water to the land. At night, the land cools off more quickly and becomes cooler than water, so the breeze reverses.
Does good radiators gain or lose heat easily?
Yes to both--they gain heat from the source, and lose heat to the atmosphere. They have to be able to do both; if the radiator in your car couldn't absorb heat from the coolant, it wouldn't cool the engine properly.
Does a sea breeze flow from the ocean toward the land at night because the land and ocean lose heat at the same rate?
Yes but the rates are different. It takes longer to heat up the water than it does for land. So, at night whenever the land had already cool down, the water is still actually warm. And heat transfers from hot to cold. That's why sea breeze flow to land.
Why does Black color absorb and lose heat faster than any other color?
Black colour does not absorb heat or loose heat faster, it is white colour that does it. So the Arabs always wear white coloured loose clothes.
Why high altitude have coldness?
-- There is no such thing as "coldness". There is heat energy. Where there is heat energy, you absorb some of it, and you feel warm. Where there is little heat energy, you lose some of the heat energy you already have, and you feel cold. -- At low altitude or on the ground, you are surrounded by the ground, by dense air, and possibly by bodies of water. All of these absorb and store heat energy efficiently from solar radiation. -- At high altitude, there is no ground nearby holding heat energy, and no bodies of water. Also, the air is less dense, and less able to hold heat energy.
Does freezing lose heat or add heat?
Endothermic reactions absorb heat, while exothermic reactions emit heat. Both can be used to generate freezing depending on various chemical compounds.
Does a hurricane lose its strenghth quickly over ocean water or land?
Hurricanes lose their strength quicker on land.
Which get heated faster land or air?
Yes, water has a higher specific heat capacity, meaning that it requires more energy to heat water to the same temperature as a piece of land. Water also reflects more incoming radiation. Land is dark, rough, and solid, which all contribute to the absorption of the radiation. Unlike water, land is unable to retain heat for as long as water. This is one reason why people who live near bodies of water experience less temperature extremes than those who don't live near water. The water retains heat gathered in the summer during the winter (keeping the area warmer), and keeps an area cooler in the summer while it collects heat.
