Why does water stay cooler than land?
Water has a higher specific heat capacity than land, meaning it can absorb and store more heat before its temperature rises. Additionally, water is a better conductor of heat than land, so it can distribute heat more evenly. This is why water tends to stay cooler than land during hot weather.
What does water holding capacity of soil mean?
Water holding capacity of soil refers to the ability of soil to retain water within its pore spaces against the force of gravity. It is a critical property that influences plant growth as it determines how much water is available to plants for uptake. Soil with high water holding capacity can better sustain plant growth during periods of drought.
What happens to the temperature of boiling water if you turn up the heat on the stove?
The boiling point of water is 100 degrees celsius. The water will evaporate at boiling point. By the way what do you mean "what happens to the temperature of boiling water" if you think about it, it does not make sense.
What is one process that puts water back into the atmosphere?
Evaporation is the process where water is converted from liquid to water vapor and released into the atmosphere. This occurs when heat energy from the sun causes water bodies like oceans, lakes, and rivers to evaporate.
What types of bonds do water form?
Water can form hydrogen bonds, which are weak electrostatic attractions between positively charged hydrogen atoms of one water molecule and negatively charged oxygen atoms of another water molecule. These hydrogen bonds give water its unique properties such as high surface tension, high specific heat, and cohesive behavior.
How does ice cool?
Water have a very high heat capacity and that mean water can contain a lot of heat which resulted in the cooling effect. Remember ice is water in solid form.
What does it mean to say that a material has a high or low specific heat capacity?
The specific heat capacity of a substance is the amount of energy required to increase the temperature of a said substance 1o K. The capacity is measured in kilojoules divided by kilogram time degrees Kelvin (kJ/Kg k). So, if the specific heat capacity of a substance is high, it requires a very large amount of energy to increase the temperature, and if it has a low specific heat capacity, the required energy will be lower.

It influences the amount of heat needed for matter to reach a certain temperature when a substance expands or contracts however it does not change what is it?
I guess you mean the specific heat capacity of a substance. Water is 1 calorie per gram, for other substances the quoted figure is often called the 'specific heat' which just means the ratio of its own heat capacity to that of water.
What late heat mean in HVAC?
All pure substances in nature are able to change their state. Solids can become liquids (ice to water) and liquids can become gases (water to vapor) but changes such as these require the addition or removal of heat. The heat that causes these changes is called latent heat. Latent heat however, does not affect the temperature of a substance - for example, water remains at 100°C while boiling. The heat added to keep the water boiling is latent heat. Heat that causes a change of state with no change in temperature is called latent heat. Appreciating this difference is fundamental to understanding why refrigerant is used in cooling systems. It also explains why the terms 'total capacity' (sensible & latent heat) and 'sensible capacity' are used to define a unit's cooling capacity. During the cooling cycling, condensation forms within the unit due to the removal of latent heat from the air. Sensible capacity is the capacity required to lower the temperature and latent capacity is the capacity to remove the moisture from the air.
Why does water have a high specific heat capacity?
Water has a high specific heat because of the hydrogen bonds acting on the molecules. These hygrogen bonds can "store" thermal energy, and this allows water to absorb or release a lot of heat without a large change in temperature.
Why does water stay cooler than land?
Water has a higher specific heat capacity than land, meaning it can absorb and store more heat before its temperature rises. Additionally, water is a better conductor of heat than land, so it can distribute heat more evenly. This is why water tends to stay cooler than land during hot weather.
Why would the tea in a teacup and tea in a teapot be the same temperature even though the teapot holds more?
large heat capacity do not mean high in temperature. Both may have the same temperature but obviously the teapot has higher heat capacity compared to teacup as the teapot contain more than the teacup.Remember that heat capacity is directly proportional to the mass.
What can water conduct?
I could say heat, but I think you mean electricity So: pure water doesn't, but a little salt will turn it into a conductor. But it's it ions, not the water, that conducts.
Why do you get chills after heat exhaustion?
Typically chills mean water is evaporating on your skin from sweat, but it can sometimes mean that your core temperature is too high and your body is having trouble regulating it. This can be a symptom of heat exhaustion or heat stroke.
What the mean by hbc fuses?
High Breaking Capacity
Water has a temp of 4.184 and copper has a temp of 0.387. Does it takes more heat to raise the temp of the copper molecule?
These are not temperature numbers but specific heat numbers. They mean that it takes 4.184 Joules and 0.387 Joules respectively to raise water and copper of one gram by one degree celsius. So, as you can see, it takes a lot more heat to raise the temperature of water than it does of copper. Water has a very high specific heat.
