Which item the towel the sand or the water - has the highest specific-heat capacity?
water
How much heat does it take to melt sand?
There are different kinds of sand, but one of the most common, quartz sand, has a specific heat of 830 (J/kg°C)
Why is the sea warmer than the sand in the evening?
Because the sand outside is in cold wind but the ocean sand observes the heat from the noon and at night it keeps the sand under ocean warm not extremely hot. I hope this helps :)
What gets warmer sand or dirt?
For the same amount of energy it would be about the same. However, it would also depend on the type of dirt or sand.Reason:The smaller the specific heat the less energy required to heat the object of equal masses but the faster they cool down.Sand has a specific heat capacity of about 800 Joules/ degree/ kilogram whereSoil is about 800 Joules/ degree / kilogram.Water has a specific heat capacity of 4200 J/degree/kgCopper about 390
How are Quartzite Granite and Sandstone related?
Quartzite, granite, and sandstone are all types of sedimentary or metamorphic rocks. They are related in the sense that they are formed from different processes involving the compression and transformation of sediments. Quartzite is derived from sandstone through intense heat and pressure, while granite is an igneous rock that forms from the cooling and solidification of molten magma. Sandstone, on the other hand, is formed from sand particles that are compacted and cemented together over time.
What has the greatest specific heat - granite rock - sand or water?
Water has the highest specific heat, sand and granite could be very similar but there are very many types of sand so no definite relationship can be given without more information.
Which warms up faster when heat is applied iron water sand or wood?
Iron has the lowest specific heat, so it will heat up faster.
Does sand have a high or low specific heat capacity?
sand have low specific heat capacity.
What step in the rock cycle can change a granite to a sand stone?
Heat and pressure
Why does water have a greater specific heat over then sand?
water has a greater specific heat than sand becasue it takes longer to heat up than sand does
Does sand absorb more heat sand or soil?
Though sand and soil have the same specific heat, sand absorbs more heat.
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.
Is desert sand a high or low specific heat capacity?
The desert sand has very low specific heat because it absorbs and releases heat very readily.
What is stronger than sand?
i think granite because it was formed under the earth in deep pressure and heat but marble has weaker bonds in its particles. marble was formed by limestone with not alot of pressure as granite or heat. granite is way strongger
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.

Which has a greater specific heat capacity - water or sand?
Water has a greater specific heat.
