Thermal capacity (heat change per unit temperature change) of oil is a lot less than that of water, so a small amount of heat change (eg convection of air above it) is associated with larger temperature change in the case of oil.

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


Why does sand on a beach cool down at night more quickly than the water?

I think what you are trying to say is the sand on a beach cools down easier at more quickly then the ocean water because of convection status, this makes the cool water much more cool then in the ocean water because of radiation.


Does milk cool faster than water?

No, milk does not cool faster than water. The rate at which a liquid cools primarily depends on its thermal conductivity, density, and specific heat capacity. Water has a higher specific heat capacity than milk, meaning it can absorb and retain more heat, which can make it cool slower than milk.


Why does land warm and cool more quickly than water and how does it affect your air temperature?

Diffusion of heat from land is quicker than water. thus temperature of air on land flactutes faster than in the ocean.


Does ambeint water cool the body down faster?

Yes, ambient water (water at room temperature) can help cool the body down more quickly than warm water. When the body comes into contact with cool water, heat is transferred from the body to the water, facilitating heat loss and a decrease in body temperature.


Why does water not heat up or cool as quickly as air?

Because the specific heat of water is very high. In fact, water has about 1400 times more heat carrying capacity than air.


Which statement regarding air temperature is NOT trueCool air rises and warm air falls.Air heats up more quickly than land.Warm air is less dense than cool air.Air heats up more quickly than water?

"Cool air rises and warm air falls" is false. Cool air is denser than warm air, and therefore warm air will rise above cold air.


Why does watermoves up a stem more quickly on a hot day than a cool day?

On a hot day, water evaporates more quickly from the leaves through a process called transpiration. This creates a negative pressure, or tension, in the xylem vessels, pulling water up from the roots more rapidly. In contrast, on a cool day, transpiration rates are lower, leading to slower movement of water up the stem.


Does hot water freeze more quickly than room temperature?

No, hot water does not freeze more quickly than room temperature water. In fact, hot water takes longer to freeze because it has to cool down to the same temperature as room temperature water before it can start freezing.


Does the atmosphere heat more quickly than the sea or the land?

Yes. The air will head up more quickly than water.


What will warm up and cool down faster than land?

Water will warm up and cool down faster than land. This is because water has a lower specific heat capacity compared to land, meaning it requires less energy to change its temperature. As a result, water can heat up and cool down more quickly in response to changes in the environment.


Why does hot water cool down more quickly in a metal mug?

Metal is a good conductor of heat, so it allows heat to flow from the hot water more quickly than a material like ceramic or glass. This results in faster heat loss and a quicker cooling of the water inside the metal mug.
