What else can I help you with?
What patterns can you see in winds that occur near water?
Near large bodies of water you get "on-shore" and "off-shore" breezes. They're caused by the difference in the rate that land and water gain and lose heat. Water is slower to gain heat, but also slower to lose it. Land is quicker to gain heat, and quicker to lose it. So, say for example, it is summer in Florida. The water is about 80 degrees F. The sand will be over 100, and the land in general will be in at least the 90s. This difference makes the breeze go from the water to the land. At night, the land cools off more quickly and becomes cooler than water, so the breeze reverses.
How far down to sea can clouds go?
a cloud can be close to the surface of the water (or land). When a cloud is close to or at the surface of the water (or land) , it is called fog.
What percentage of the world is covered in land?
Well since 1/4 of the world is made of water and the other 3/4 is land, approximately 32% of the land is tree, considering the rain forests we have in the southern areas near the equator.
What year did the first dog land on the moon?
a dog has never landed on the moon.
What is cool breezes during the night caused by differences in heating and cooling rates of land and water?
Cool breezes during the night are caused by differences in heating and cooling rates of land and water. Land heats up and cools down faster than water, creating a gradient that leads to air movement from the cooler water towards the warmer land, resulting in a refreshing breeze.
Does the land and water near the earths poles ever receive the direct rays of sun?
Yes - for half the year.
What is the transfer of energy from land and water by direct contact?
It is called conduction.
When does land and water receives the direct rays of the sun throughout the year?
Equator.
What transfer of energy from land or water to air by direct contact?
The transfer of energy from land or water to air by direct contact is known as convection. As the surface of the land or water gets heated by the sun, it transfers this heat energy to the air molecules in contact with it. These warm air molecules rise, creating air currents and leading to the transfer of heat from the surface to the air.
Where can hurricanes never form?
A hurricane can never form over land or over cold water.
Why is the land hotter than water when exposed under the sun?
Land is hotter than water when exposed to direct heat under the sun because of its density. It holds in heat and cannot refract it the way that water can.
Does more water evaporate from the land?
Yes, more water does evaporate from the land compared to the ocean. This is because the land typically receives more direct sunlight, which results in higher temperatures and increased evaporation rates. Additionally, the limited water-holding capacity of the land surface causes water to evaporate more quickly.
Why does land closer to water receive more rain?
rain clouds are formed from evaporated water. The more water nearby, the more can evaporate and form clouds.
What breaks in the water but never on land?
A wave will break in the water but will never break on land. Waves are most commonly seen breaking close to or right on the shore line. However, they also break in the middle of a lake or ocean.
What is the never ending movement of water between the sea the land and the air?
The never-ending movement of water between the sea, land, and air is known as the water cycle. It involves the processes of evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and runoff, which continuously circulate water throughout the Earth's ecosystems. This cycle helps to maintain the overall balance of water on our planet.
What breaks on water but never on land?
A wave will break in the water but will never break on land. Waves are most commonly seen breaking close to or right on the shore line. However, they also break in the middle of a lake or ocean.
