What is heats and cools more slowly than land?
Water
What heats and cools more rapidly land or water?
Land. This difference in heat conduction results in seaside winds - in the morning, the land has heated more quickly and has higher pressure air above it, making the air travle to lower pressure above the sea. In the evening, the land has cooled more quickly and has lower pressure air above it, making the air above the sea travel towards the land.
Which air pocket would you expect to cool down more at night?
land air because land heats up more during the day and without the suns heat the land will go down more rapidly
What is heating of the land and water?
during the daytime it is called a sea breeze. the sun produces radiation which heats up the earths surface. high pressure is over the water and low pressure is over the land. the land heats up faster because the molecules on land are more densely packed than the ones in water. as one molecule on land heats up it touches another making it heat up quickly. the molecules in water are more spread apart so once one is heated up it takes longer to touch another molecule so by the time it touches another molecule it has already started to cool off. during the nighttime it is called a land breeze. high pressure is over the land and low pressure is over the water. the sun has set so it stops heating up. the water cools off slowly and has been heated all day, so its warmer than the land. land cools off quickly, which creates the high air pressure. hope this helped :) 8th grade science
Why is there often a sea breeze during the day and a land breeze at night?
It's the result of a process known as convection. Convection is the uneven heating of the earth's surface, creating warm and cold air masses that rise and/or descend upon each other as they change temperature, making wind currents.Earth (at least the first few inches) heats and cools faster than the ocean. So during the day the colder ocean winds rush in to replace the warmer, lower density air. They sweep toward the land, making a sea breeze. At night, as the earth rapidly cools, the process reverses with the land's now colder air sweeping out to sea where the air is warmer and again less dense. This is called a land breeze.
Which dissipates heat more quickly land or water?
Land heats and cools faster than water.
Which is the cause of a sea breeze?
Land heats and cools more quickly than water.
Are sea and land breezes caused because the land heats and cools more quickly than the water?
yes
Why are sand and land breezes caused?
They are cause because land heats and cools more quickly.
In general which is caused of a sea breeze?
The usual cause of sea breeze is the difference in specific heat capacity between land and water Land heats and cools more quickly than water.
What heats more quickly a kilogram of water or a kilogram of copper?
cupper
Why local winds may reverse daily between water and coastline areas?
Ultimately, because oceans are huge heat sinks. The surface of a body of water both heats and cools more slowly than the surface of land. When the sun comes up in the morning, it begins to heat the land and the water. Since the land heats more quickly, the air above it also heats more quickly, and rises. This produces a region of relative low pressure, which draws air from over the cooler water and results in a breeze blowing from the water to the land. When the sun starts to set, the land cools more quickly, and the cooler air above it sinks, resulting in a region of relative high pressure and a breeze blowing from the land to the water. This is a tremendous oversimplification and there are lots of other factors that make it not always work out this way, but in general it gives the idea of how this could happen.
What heats more slowly than land?
Water (the oceans).
What is heats and cools more slowly than land?
Water
Does water cool more quickly then land does?
water does cool more quickly than land cos water freezes sometimes and the land doesn't xxx
How do the heating of land water differ?
Land heats more rapidly and to higher temperatures than water. Land also cools more rapidly and to lower temperatures than water
How do the heating of land and water different?
Land heats more rapidly and to higher temperatures than water. Land also cools more rapidly and to lower temperatures than water
