Why does sand heat up faster than soil?
Soil heats up faster than sand because soil is more moist and has certain chemical in it so that it is partially flammable. I hope ive helped! Love, 2016127
What can heat faster water or soil?
Water heats faster than soil
Which substance would heat up faster air water soil or sand?
Soil
What holds heat longer soil or water?
Soil absorbs heat much faster than water, but water does not have air in between like soil so it doesnt lose heat as fast, so water holds heat longer
Why do geologists measure soil temperatures?
Because soil temperatures indicate the heat transfer process occurring at the earth's surface.
Do plants grow better when its cold and moist?
yes but remember that it needs to have soil, no, plants grow better when they are warm and moist. This is because heat allows the molecules in plants move faster and undergo photosynthesis much faster.

Which heats faster dry soil or wetsoil?
Dry soil heats faster than Wet soil because water has a higher thermal inertia than air. Moist soil contains more water, and thus will heat and cool slower than soil mixed with air (dry soil) which has a lower thermal inertia.
Why do plants grow faster in cotton then soil?
Because, in soil it will get moist from the humidity and will sprout. Stella Lardines

Why do bridges ice faster than roads in winter?
Ground retains some heat, so a road surface on soil stays warmer. A bridge deck is exposed to cold air on the top and the bottom, so it will lose heat faster and reach freezing tempratures sooner.
Why are earthworms not usually on the surface of the ground on a hot day?
because they like moist areas so if it is hot the top layer of the soil is not that moist so they go deeper
Factors affecting the temperature of soil?
Humus content of the soil. What think the heat scientists about black surfaces and heat absorption? Black surfaces absorb heat faster and contain it longer. Mostly, humus is black or dark in color. Soil with much of the humus content tends to absorb more heat and gets heated faster than soil c9ontaining less humus.
What kind of soil does a tropical soil have?
The kind of soil that the tropical has is moist because whenever it rains the soil gets wet and that becomes moist.
