Which holds heat longer land or water?
land
If Specific heat of water is greater than that of land This means?
Water heats and cools slower than land. It is because the specific heat is the amount of heat that it takes to be raised to a certain temperature. If the heat is higher it would take longer to heat and cool. That is my interpretation anyways.
How does being near a large body of water affect the climate of a region?
Water has a high specific heat, therefore it takes longer to heat and cool effecting the temperature of the land it surrounds or is near
Why does water stay cooler than land?
The thermal capacity is higher for water than land, therefore the land is able to cool faster than the water. The water takes a longer time to heat up and cool off than the land.
Does water or land hold heat longer?
Land holds more heat than water because the earth has magma and lava but water doesn't
What does water take longer o do than land?
Water takes longer to heat up and to cool down then it does for land.
Which holds heat longer land or water?
land
How does the absorption of energy from the sun differ from land and water?
Land absorbs heat energy from the sun quickly, but it also releases the heat (cools down) more quickly than water. Water reflects more of the energy than land does, so it takes longer to warm. Water also holds the heat longer than land. This is why the sea is warmer for swimming at the very end of summer, even when the land is cooling.

Why does lands heat faster than water?
Land has compact molecules so only conduction takes place and it is an insulator of heat so the heat remains on the surface whereas water has loosely packed molecule so heat is transferred by convection ths it takes a longer time to heat up.
Why does water stay cooler than land?
The thermal capacity is higher for water than land, therefore the land is able to cool faster than the water. The water takes a longer time to heat up and cool off than the land.
How do large bodies of water affect winter and summer temperatures?
If you live closer to the ocean you will have warmer winters because the land is getting heated up faster by the sun and it takes longer for it to heat the ocean so it takes longer for the water t heat up or to cool down.And also if you live near the ocean you will have cooler summers because it takes longer for it to warm up the ocean and the sun hits the land the most not the ocean.

How can being near a large body of water affect the climate of a region?
the wind picks up the col air coming off the water and then comes on land
Does water hold heat longer than land?
Yes it does.
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.
