Yep, water has a high heat capacity which means it absorbs a lot of heat before it changes temperature and once absorbed, it holds onto it. You can't say the same for rocks or especially sand.

What object would fall faster a rock or a pencil?

All objects fall universally with the same acceleration: 9.8 m/s squared.


Why would a smooth rock fall faster than a bungee jumper?

smooth rocks create less friction on air.


Where earthquake waves travel faster whether in rock or water?

Faster in rock. the higher the density, the higher the speed.


What heats faster water or rock?

Rock because it absorbs heat faster more density!! Your welcome my public!!:D


Does rock salt dissolve faster in hot water or lukewarm water or cold water?

Rock salt dissolves fastest in hot water.


As you step on the mountain path bits of rock and soil fall downhill Would it be a landslide mudslide slump or creep?

If the movement is slow and gradual, it would likely be a creep. If the movement is faster and more sudden, it could be a landslide or a mudslide, depending on the presence of water and mud.


Why does a seismic wave travels faster through solid rock than through water?

Seismic waves travels faster through solid rock than water because their speed depends on the density and composition of material that they pass through.Solid rock is denser than water, hence the energy from seismic waves transfer faster through solid rock than in water.

Why does a rock fall faster to the ground than a feather?

A rock falls faster than a feather due to differences in their mass and air resistance. Air resistance affects the feather more than the rock due to its larger surface area and lighter mass, causing the feather to fall more slowly.


Would a heavier rock land faster than a smaller rock?

Nope. Galileo proved that the weight of an object has nothing to do with how fast it falls, particularly in a container with no air in it. In one of these airless containers, you would see that a nickel and a feather fall at exactly the same speed.


What dissolves faster in a cold water crushed salt or rock salt?

Crushed salt dissolves faster in cold water compared to rock salt. This is because crushed salt has a larger surface area for water molecules to come in contact with, facilitating faster dissolution. Rock salt, on the other hand, has a smaller surface area which slows down the dissolution process.


Does movement of water going faster make a rock smother?

No, the movement of water going faster does not make a rock smoother. In fact, fast-moving water can erode and wear down rocks, making them rougher and more jagged over time.
