Why are bodies of water sometimes warmer than the temperature on land?

Water is slower to absorb and release heat than the surrounding area. That is why water is typically cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. A lot of this also depends on the geogrpahy of the area.

Why does the water get warmer when you mix calcium chloride and water?
Temperature increases
Why do areas near large bodies of water stay warmer in the winter than inland areas?
Areas near large bodies of water stay warmer in the winter than inland areas because the seas hold a lot of heat, much more than air. They stay about the same temperature year round. Air holds very little heat and gives up or takes on heat easily. When breezes blow in from the water the air has taken heat from the water, making it near the temperature of the water. The opposite happens in the summer. The water is about the same temperature as it was in the winter so the breezes that blow from it onto land are cooler.
How do large bodies of water affect the climate of coastal areas?
Ocean currents carry warmer water from the tropics into colder regions. The heat from that warmer water escapes into the atmosphere as it creates warmer, rainier weather than might otherwise be expected.
When the temperature is 0 degrees Fahrenheit is it warmer or colder that the freezing temperature of water?
The freezing temperature of water is 0 degrees celsius or 32 degrees fahrenheit so it is colder than the freezing temperature of water.
An increase in a body of water's temperature caused by adding warmer water is called?
Thermal Pollution.
How do large bodies of water influence climate?
Water has a large specific heat. That means that it takes more heat energy to change the temperature of water than it does to change the temp of land; thus places near large bodies of water are warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
Is the gulf of Mexico warm?
It is sometimes warm and sometimes cold and even ice cold!)

What is the temperature of the mixture of sodium chloride and water?
slightly warmer :)
How do bodies of water affect temperature?
Bodies of water affect climate in other ways., too. Water takes longer to heat or cool than land. As the air and land heat up in summer the water remains cooler.How do body's of water effect the tempeture?
Does pollution change water temperature?
Some consider heating of open bodies of water by discharge from industrial plants to be pollution on the theory that it adversely affects the lives of the fish in the water. In some such cases, it has been demonstrated that the fish thrived in the warmer water.
Why is it that the warmer the water the warmer the land?
because the winds blowing in from the ocean pick up the temperature from the water so the wind is the same temperature as the top layer of the water, so when the wind blows in from the coast it either warms or cools the land depending on the water temperature.

How can you melt ice cubes in water or air?
place ice cubes in water or air at a warmer temperature than 32 Deg.F. place ice cubes in water or air at a warmer temperature than 32 Deg.F.
How is salinity related to temperature?
The warmer a solution becomes, the higher the salinity can be. Warmer water can have more of a salt dissolved in it.
How does temperature affect amount of vapor in the air?
The warmer the temperature, the more water vapor in the air. The colder the temperature, the less water vapor in the air.
