When the land heats and cools more quickly than the water what is produced?

After the sun sets, land typically cools more rapidly than the ocean or sea. As the land cools, the air close to the surface cools, as well. Since cold air is denser than warm air, the cold air tends to sink and compress. The falling and compressing air creates a void at higher altitudes, and the void is then filled with high-altitude air over the oceans or sea. This, in turn, creates an updraft of air over the water, which creates a void at low altitude over the water. Finally, the air near the land's surface tries to fill the void over the water. This produces on offshore breeze or a land breeze. That is, the wind blows away from land and out to sea. The reverse occurs when the sun rises and heats the land faster than the water.

Which heats up fastest soil water air or sand?
Soil heats up and cools down the fastest. Water heats up regulary and does not cool down for a while. Sand heats up the slowest and cools down the slowest.
What is heats and cools more slowly than land?
Water
What happens to the temperature of equal volumes of soil and water when they are placed in the sunshine for 30 minutes?
both the water and soil heats up but the soil heats up rapidly and the water heats up slowly. If it cools down the soil cools down faster and the water cools down slower.
The Sun heats the Earth's water. This warm water turns into a vapor and rises into the atmosphere where it cools off. What happens to this water vapor?
It condenses - to form clouds.
What are covection currents and what causes them?
A convection current is how either water or air cools and heats. The thing that causes them is the heating and cooling of air or water which makes it rise or sink.
Which is the cause of a sea breeze?
Land heats and cools more quickly than water.
Are sea and land breezes caused because the land heats and cools more quickly than the water?
yes
Which dissipates heat more quickly land or water?
Land heats and cools faster than water.
Which heats up fastest soil water air or sand?
Soil heats up and cools down the fastest. Water heats up regulary and does not cool down for a while. Sand heats up the slowest and cools down the slowest.

How many watts does a 25 liter geyser consume?
The answer will depend on how quickly, and to what temperature the geyser heats the water.The answer will depend on how quickly, and to what temperature the geyser heats the water.The answer will depend on how quickly, and to what temperature the geyser heats the water.The answer will depend on how quickly, and to what temperature the geyser heats the water.
Why does land heats and cools faster than water?
beacause its solid
In general which is caused of a sea breeze?
The usual cause of sea breeze is the difference in specific heat capacity between land and water Land heats and cools more quickly than water.
What heats and cools fastest in a 24 hour period land or water?
Land.
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
