What heats up and cools down quickly?
land because in the day land gets easily heated by the sun very quickly and then loses all its heat in minutes after nightfall
Why do land and water surfaces heat up at different rates?
The radiation from the sun is heating them both the same. However, the sun penetrates the surface water and water at a great depth. This is because the water is transparent and lets energy pass through. On the other hand, the sun only heats up the top layer of the land. This is because the land is a solid. A solid is opaque and does not let energy through. Also, since water is transparent meaning the color doesn't attract the sunlight as much as land.Land VS. Water1)Heat loss to evaporation (latent heat)2) Transparent can penetrate and spread out deeper3) convection in the water mixes it4) high specific heatActually land is heated more than water because there is less land to heat and more water to heat so it heats unevenly
How do earth materials heat up?
by sun power and mantle
How does the sun heat up water?
Radiation heats the water.
Does water heat up just as quickly as land heats up?
it heats up much faster, the specific heat value of water is very low, and the specific heat value of land is almost always higher than that of water.
How does land heat up?
Land heats up when waves of energy from the sun produce heat upon contact with the land's surface.
What happens when land gets hot?
Multiple things, conduction, convection, but the most important is radiation into space at night.
From where does most evaperation come?
From the sun's heat, it heat up rivers, ponds and seas.
How does the Sun warm up the Earth?
By shining on it. The Earth will absorb the heat and rays from the sun. ANSWER: to be more exact ultraviolet radiation from the sun is absorbed by earth in the form of heat uv rays are deadly to humans and most carbon based lifeforms but our ozone layer filters out most of the harmful radiation leaving us the heat
When the sun's rays strike land and water do they heat up as fast as each other?
no ,land gets heated faster than water.
How do large bodies of water affect winter and summer temperatures?
If you live closer to the ocean you will have warmer winters because the land is getting heated up faster by the sun and it takes longer for it to heat the ocean so it takes longer for the water t heat up or to cool down.And also if you live near the ocean you will have cooler summers because it takes longer for it to warm up the ocean and the sun hits the land the most not the ocean.
Why the ground dry up quickly?
Ground / Land dries up quickly. this is due to evaporation and the heat consumed by the earth. the rays of the sun get absorbed more quickly by land than by water.
Do you have to have a sun?
We all have to have a sun with out the sun we will be frozen solid the sun warms us up with its heat if we don't have heat we will freeze to death
What heats up and cools down quickly?
land because in the day land gets easily heated by the sun very quickly and then loses all its heat in minutes after nightfall
Why do Land and water heat up cool down differently What can form from the unequal heating of the land and the sea?
Because the land doesn't have the water vapor that the ocean has because the sun heats the water into steam
How can you tell that you are absorbing radiant energy from the sun?
It will heat you up.It will heat you up.It will heat you up.It will heat you up.
Does the sun's light heat liquid on earth?
Yes. Anything that absorbs energy (light is energy) will heat up. Liquids will heat up when exposed to the illumination of the Sun.
