Is a cannon on land called differently than on a ship?

it's the same word on land, over water , maybe in air.


Why is the air colder than the land?

Water has a very high specific heat capacity, meaning it takes more energy to heat it up than most substances and it releases more energy than it heats down. Additionally, water can circulate, so that heat gets distributed to a greater depth than it can with solid earth. As a result, land heats up faster in the day and cools down more slowly at night than water does. For this reason, air over land tends to be warmer in the day an cooler at night than air over water.


Is land mass and land area the same thing?

Not exactly. Land mass refers to the total amount of land in a specific area, including both land above and below water. Land area specifically refers to the surface area of land above water.


Is the depth of a water table always the same even over a large area of land?

No, the depth of a water table can vary significantly even over a large area of land. Factors such as topography, soil composition, climate, and proximity to bodies of water can influence water table depth. Additionally, human activities like irrigation and groundwater extraction can also cause variations in the water table level. Therefore, it is not consistent across large regions.


How would local winds be if water and land absorbed and release heat at the same rate?

During the day, air above land becomes warmer than air above water.This is a sea breeze.At night, cooler air on land cause a higher-pressure zone over the land.This is a land breeze.

What is potential pressure?

the pressure of water measured relative to the atmospheric pressure at the same elevation.


What are differences between land breeze and sea breeze?

They are opposites. A sea breeze occurs when the land is warmer than the sea. Warm air rises over land, creating low pressure that draws in more air from the sea. At the same time cooler air sinks over the sea. A land breeze reverses this process, with air rising over the warm water, drawing air in from the cooler land.
