this would also depend on he amount of moisture in the dirt. sand gets hotter than soil,did you ever walk on a sandy beach on a sunny day of the summer? it gets so hot then you can't walk on it barefoot. if the heath could be extracted it could be used to produced energy.

∙ 12y agodefinently hot water, it can be raised to any temperature.. sand is only hot because of the weather around it, meaning water can be or cant be hotter, depending on the temperature of each substance.
hih
( hope i helped )

∙ 13y agoWe know that sand heats by conduction i.e. the molecules are stationery and heat flows through the body one after the another.We can consider an iron rod , it heats by conduction , so does land.So it heats up fast.
In case of water , it heats up by convection i.e. the molecules of water move.When we boil water the molecules of the bottom part of water gets heated and rises up and the cooler part moves down and gets heated.This is the process by which water get heated and is comparitively a slow process.
So,sand heats up fast than water and also cools down faster than water.
I hope so that my answer would help you.

∙ 12y agoSand has no innate heat level, because it is simply 'rock'. It's surface temperature is hotter than its average temperature, which is measured below the surface.
Exposed sand absorbs heat from the sun and cools when there is no sun.
You can explore the excerpt, below, from The Biology of Coastal Sand Dunes, by Anwar Maun, and review his graph and related text documenting a high surface temperature of sand from about 40 to 60 degrees Celsius (140 degrees Fahrenheit).

∙ 15y agobecause water reflects the suns rays while sand absorbs it...
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoThe sand has a lower heat capacity than water. The higher the heat capacity the longer it takes to heat. The sand will heat more easily.
Wiki User
∙ 16y agoSand as it is less dense than water. (And provided they both start off at the same temperature)
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoThe one that will heat is the water because if you put it under a hot lamp for 15 minutes it will heat up and become hot water. lol
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoGo to the beach at night, notice that both the sand and the water are cool, wait till the sun comes up and the sand gets too hot to stand on, then jump in the water. Ahhh...still cool.

∙ 14y agobecause sand absorbs heat better than water however water releases heat slower

Why is a mixture of sand and water not an example of a solution?
A solution is when two different liquids, not solids, get mixed together.
Is sand a mixture or compond?
Sand is made form a mixture of mineral grains (mainly quartz or calcite) which are themselves compounds.
Is the pH of an acid higher or lower than water?
Water at different temperatures has different densities. Water at 4°C, is the densest and so it is heavier by volume than water at lower or higher temperatures. However, when water is mixed, the temperature will become the average of the two water temperatures. This means that you can't see one floating on the other - even if you coloured one of the water temperatures, it would mix almost immediately.Something else to consider is that water is not as homogenous as most people think. Naturally occuring water contains deuterium oxide, 17O and 18O isotope water, and tritiated water are forms of heavy water.
Separation method for sand and water?
The mixture of and and water is a heterogeneous mixture. There is two steps to separate: Sedimentation: The sand will settle at the bottom of the beaker Decantation: Pour the water slowly out of the container leaving the sand behind. This water is called "supernatant" liquid.
What are elements a mixture of?
Elements are not mixtures. An element is composed of only one kind of atom. A compound is composed of two or more different elements. A mixture is just two or more substances mixed together. A classical experiment in school is to take a mixture of two substances, sand and salt; then to decide how to separate the two substances. That is usually done by putting them both into water; the salt dissolves thus allowing the salt to be recovered by boiling the water away. The sand (and any remaining water) are then placed on a filter paper. This lets the water through but not the sand, which might need a little more drying.
Can water boil at its freezing pointwhy or why not?
No. water cannot be at two different extreme temperatures simultaneously.
Why is a mixture of sand and water not an example of a solution?
A solution is when two different liquids, not solids, get mixed together.
When you will put your finger in a hotwater and the other one is in coldwater.what can you feel?
Water of two different temperatures. Silly!
What happens when cold and warm water mix?
When waters of different temperatures mix together, they tend to retain their temperatures. But the temperature of the two different temperatured waters combine to form a slightly warm water (only if the volume of both the waters is same). Overtime their temperatures become in proportion to the surroundings
Can two isotherm intersect each other?
No.An isotherm is a collection of points that are all at the same temperature. If two (different) isotherms were to touch each other then that would imply that they were at the same temperature but, by definition, if they have points on them at different temperatures then all the points on them must be at different temperatures.
Can you put your betta with your two goldfishes?
No, not only are bettas best as a solitary fish, but their needs are different including food and water temperatures.
What two forces can move sand?
Wind and water move sand easily. I
Does water have two freezing temperatures?
No just one.
What two things reshape sand dunes?
Wind and water reshape sand dunes
What is the equation for finding temperature when mixing equal volumes of water?
The result of mixing equal MASSES of water at different temperatures will be the mean of the two temperatures. Unless you are being very sophisticated and are taking the thermal expansion into account, the same will apply to volumes.
Two vast areas of air have different temperatures and pressures but within the regions the temperatures and pressures are similar. The line where these regions are colliding is called a(n)?
Air masses or weather front is when two regions of air are colliding and they have different temperatures and pressures are similar.
What are some temperatures that come out when you mix hot water with cold water?
The resulting temperature when you mis hot water with cold water will be somewhere between the two original temperatures, depending on the temperatures and quantities of the waters being mixed.
