What is the never ending movement of water between the sea the land and the air?

The never-ending movement of water between the sea, land, and air is known as the water cycle. It involves the processes of evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and runoff, which continuously circulate water throughout the Earth's ecosystems. This cycle helps to maintain the overall balance of water on our planet.


What are 4 factors that affect global air circulation?

there are 5 major factors affecting global air circulation : - uneven heating of earth's surface - seasonal changes in temperature and precipitation - rotating of earth on its axis - properties of air and water - long term variation in the amount of solar energy striking the earth


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.


What makes up the surface of Earth?

The surface of the Earth is primarily composed of rock and soil. Rocks are made up of minerals such as quartz, feldspar, and mica. Soil consists of a mixture of organic matter, minerals, air, and water.
