In general, land tends to heat up and cool down more quickly than water. This means that land can be warmer during the day and cooler at night compared to water in the same location. However, water has a higher specific heat capacity than land, so it can store and release heat more slowly, leading to more stable temperatures overall.
What else can I help you with?
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.
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 wind measured the same way over land and water?
Knots is for water and Miles per hour is for land
What happens if a cold egg is brought into hot water?
Basically, the egg gets warmer as the water gets cooler until both meet at the same temperature.
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.
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.
If Japan is at the same latitude as California then why is ocean water there so much warmer than California water?
Its because Japan is humid, and humidity makes the water warmer.
What happens during a sea breeze?
During a sea breeze, cooler air from the ocean moves towards the warmer land during the day. This occurs because the land heats up faster than the water, creating a pressure difference that causes the breeze. The sea breeze helps to moderate temperatures in coastal areas.
Why do land breezes generally occur during the night and early morning?
Warm air expands, so air will flow from a warm place to a cool place. During the day the land will get warm, while a body of water will stay at roughly the same temperature, since it takes longer to warm up. During the night, the land will cool until it is cooler than the water, so air will flow toward the land. In the early morning, the land stays cool for a while, so the breeze continues. As the land warms up and becomes warmer than the sea, the air will flow away from the land. This breeze will usually occur from the middle of the day until after sunset.
What is the area of land where all of the water that is under it or drains off it goes into the same place?
A watershed is an area where all runoff goes to the same outlet.
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.
If you pour water onto water does it get more wet?
no. water put on water makes more water. its the same as land on land. put land on land, makes more land not dyer land.

What is colder air in land or air in sea?
that's a very vague question. I'll try my best to answer it. First it depends where at you're talking about. At the Equator Air on land is colder than at sea. But as you go to either poles the water tends to get colder than the air on land.

What is your weight when float on water on back?
Your weight is the same on land as on the water.
Why don't objects dropped at the same height land in the same place?
Because it didnt fell like being in the same place. lol
