What else can I help you with?
Does sunlight affect land and water differently?
sunlight affect land and water to due the heat.
What are two reasons why bodies of water heat up more slowly than land masses when both surfaces receive an equal amount of sunlight?
The land mass is both dark and denser than water. It captures - and retains - heat more efficiently than water.
How do water and land surfaces differ in their abilities to absorb and radiated heat energy?
Land absorbs more heat energy than water does.
What is the difference in albedo between water and land surfaces?
The difference in albedo between water and land surfaces is that water has a lower albedo, meaning it reflects less sunlight and absorbs more heat compared to land surfaces. Land surfaces have a higher albedo, reflecting more sunlight and absorbing less heat.
Sunlight heats up both land and water which of these observes heat faster during daytime?
Water
Why do land and water heat and cool at different rates?
Land and water heat and cool at different rates due to differences in their specific heat capacities. Water has a higher specific heat capacity than land, meaning it can absorb and retain more heat energy before its temperature changes. This causes water to heat up and cool down more slowly compared to land.
Why can bodies of water create microclimimate?
They cool and heat more slowly than the land around them.
Does the temp. of water change more slowly than the temp of land?
Yes, water has a very high "heat capacity".
How does the heat of water help maintain the temperature of earth?
By heating and cooling more slowly than land or air
When During daytime when the sun which warms faster the land or the sea?
Land warms faster than the sea during the daytime because land has a lower heat capacity than water. This means that land can heat up quicker when exposed to sunlight compared to water.
How do land and water absorb radiation from the Sun?
Land absorbs solar radiation when sunlight hits the surface and is converted into heat energy. Water also absorbs sunlight, but it has a higher heat capacity, meaning it can absorb more energy before heating up. This leads to differences in temperature between land and water, influencing climate patterns and weather systems.
Why does large bodies of water tend to moderate the climate of nearby land make it warmer in cold weather and cooler in hot weather?
water temperatures change more slowly than land temperatures.
