My sister had a book about that. It said "Michigan's Great Lakes keeps us warm in the winter and cooler in the summer. This is because water cools and warms up slower."
What else can I help you with?
Does water or land reach a higher temperature?
Land generally reaches a higher temperature compared to water because it heats up and cools down faster due to its lower heat capacity. Water has a higher specific heat capacity, meaning it requires more energy to raise its temperature, which is why it tends to have a more stable temperature.
Why is there often a sea breeze during the day and a land breeze at night?
It's the result of a process known as convection. Convection is the uneven heating of the earth's surface, creating warm and cold air masses that rise and/or descend upon each other as they change temperature, making wind currents.Earth (at least the first few inches) heats and cools faster than the ocean. So during the day the colder ocean winds rush in to replace the warmer, lower density air. They sweep toward the land, making a sea breeze. At night, as the earth rapidly cools, the process reverses with the land's now colder air sweeping out to sea where the air is warmer and again less dense. This is called a land breeze.
True or false warm fronts move more quickly than cold fronts?
False. Cold fronts typically move faster than warm fronts because colder air is denser and tends to displace warmer air more quickly. Warm fronts usually move at a slower pace than cold fronts.
What forms during the day because water heats slower than land?
Sea breezes form during the day because water heats slower than land. As the land heats up faster than the water, the warm air over the land rises, creating an area of lower pressure. The cooler air over the water then moves in to fill the void, resulting in a sea breeze.
Are sea breezes or land breeze caused by warm ocean water?
Sea breezes are caused by the temperature difference between the land and sea, where warm air rises over the land during the day, causing cooler air from the sea to move in. Land breezes are caused by the temperature difference at night, where the land cools faster than the sea, causing the air over the land to be cooler and denser, thus moving towards the warmer sea. Warm ocean water plays a role in providing the temperature contrast necessary for these breezes to occur.
Why does New England have mild winters?
The ocean cools and heats up slower than land does; therefore, during winter, the ocean is as warm as the land in summer and in summer the water is as warm as the land in winter.
Is a land breeze warm?
No, a land breeze is typically cooler than the surrounding air because it originates from the land, which cools faster than the water.
Is land warmer than the sea?
now i am no expert but i believe that because water is constantly moving and being effected by wind and the water cycle and land absorbs the heat and does not pass it on as easily then land holds more heat than water does
How and when does a land breeze form during your trip?
during night
How does temperature and density have an effect on convection currents in the ocean?
The ocean has more density than the land. So therefore it takes more energy from the sun to warm up the ocean than the land. The land heats faster and cools of faster. It takes less energy to warm up the land than the ocean. This is why sea and land breezes occur.
Does water or land reach a higher temperature?
Land generally reaches a higher temperature compared to water because it heats up and cools down faster due to its lower heat capacity. Water has a higher specific heat capacity, meaning it requires more energy to raise its temperature, which is why it tends to have a more stable temperature.
Why does land breeze occur at nightime?
Because the land cools down faster than the sea at night, so warm air over the sea rises, 'sucking' the surface air out from over the land.
Where does the heat go when you add a warm substance to ice in a warm room?
Heat is not a "thing," it is not transferred from object to object. Instead, when an object is cold, its molecules vibrate slower than when it is warm. When a warm object comes in contact with ice, the fast-moving molecules of the warm object transfer some energy to the ice. This is why the ice warms up, and the warm object cools off (due to losing some of its molecules' energy).

How does the pacific ocean help to keep the Canada's west coast climate mild?
Because the ocean stays cold or warm longer than land so in the winter the ocean is still hot from being warm in the summer. In the summer the ocean is still colder because of winter. So when the winds blow over the ocean and onto the land, it cools or warms the land!

When air is warm, it rises and leaves an area of low pressure which becomes filled with sinking cold air. After a hot, sunny day, the land cools faster than the sea. What is likely to happen after a hot, sunny day on the sea shore?
