It is because soil have some capillaries, which contains the air & air is bad conductor of heat, so it is warmer, means disallow the flow of heat. whereas in case of water no capillaries are there.

Which held its heat longer soil or water?

Water holds heat longer than soil because of its higher specific heat capacity, which means it takes more energy to raise the temperature of a given amount of water compared to soil. This property allows water to retain heat more effectively and stay warmer for a longer period of time.


What gets warmer sand or soil?

Sand tends to warm up more quickly than soil because it has smaller particles and lower moisture content, allowing it to absorb and retain heat more efficiently. Soil, with larger particles and higher moisture content, takes longer to warm up but also retains heat longer.


What are the rates of heating and cooling of soil versus water?

Water has a higher specific heat capacity compared to soil, meaning it takes more energy to heat up or cool down water than soil. As a result, water heats up and cools down more slowly than soil. Additionally, water has a higher thermal conductivity than soil, allowing heat to transfer more efficiently through water compared to soil.


Which soil will absorb more water-sandy soil or clayey soil?

Clayey soil will absorb more water than sandy soil. This is because clayey soil has smaller particles with more surface area, allowing it to retain water more effectively than sandy soil, which has larger particles with less surface area.


Does soil absorb radiation better than water?

Water absorbs and conducts radiation better. ex. electricity is a form of radiation this is false because water will take longer to absorb heat than soil but when the source of heat is gone the water will insulate more heat than the soil, therefore the water will keep heat longer than soil but the soil will heat up faster.

Why do currents flow faster at the equator than at the polls?

Because the water is warmer at the equator than at the pole. The warmer ocean water is the faster the currents move and the colder the water is the slow the currents move.
