Because while water is heating, it is also evaporating, and that causes some cooling. Rocks and soil do not evaporate, although some of the moisture within them may evaporate and slow the heating somewhat.

What happens to the temperature of equal volumes of soil and water when they are placed in the sunshine for 30 minits?
I assume that water and soil are separate, rather than a wet soil? The temperature of the dark soil would heat up faster than the water - as dark colours absorb heat.
Does land lose heat faster than water?
Soil is solid. Its molecules are close to one another so it heats faster. It also cools faster. Water is liquid. Molecules in liquids are farther apart so water heats more slowly............ Andre Ü
What makes rocks on mountain tops weather faster than rocks in valleys?
Wind
Why do rocks on the sides of mountains weather faster than rocks on level ground?
Elevation & Slope
Why do smaller rocks weather faster than big rocks?
Small particles weather faster than larger particles because they have a smaller surface area. For example, pebbles weather faster than boulders because the have less areas to cover.
What can heat faster water or soil?
Water heats faster than soil
Which warms faster soil or water?
soil warms faster than water.
What manipulated variable that heats up faster water or soil?
the water heats faster than soil.
Will a nail rust faster in soil or water?
A nail will rust faster in wet soil than water, but if the soil is not wet , the nail will rust faster in water. I hope this answers your question. Bye, Annette Pfohl
Does sandy soil drain water?
Yes it drains water faster than any other soil
Will a seed grow faster in a cotton or will it grow faster in soil?
it would grow faster in wet cotton than in wet soil soil , as cotton would retain adequate water for a longer period of time than soil .
Why does beans grow faster in soil than water?
Beans grow faster becasue soil has all the essential nutrients for the bean.
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 rocks get heated and cooled faster than water?
Because they are more hollow.
What is the application of knowing that soil heats faster than water?

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 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
