What else can I help you with?
Why can bodies of water create microclimimate?
They cool and heat more slowly than the land around them.
Does air heat more slowly than land?
no
Does a lake or an island have land all around it?
A lake and an island are kind of like opposites. An island is completely surrounded by water, while a lake is completely surrounded by land, so the answer would be a lake.
Which has land all around it a lake or an Ocean?
gulf
What are large bodies of water with land around it is?
A lake!
What bodies of water have land all around them?
That is the definition of a lake.
Why does ice remain longer in Lake Erie than surrounding land areas?
Water has a higher specific heat than land.
Why do land and water heat and cool at different rates?
Land and water heat and cool at different rates due to differences in their specific heat capacities. Water has a higher specific heat capacity than land, meaning it can absorb and retain more heat energy before its temperature changes. This causes water to heat up and cool down more slowly compared to land.
How does the heat of water help maintain the temperature of earth?
By heating and cooling more slowly than land or air
The range of temperature in coastal areas is lower than areas located farther in land Why is this so?
This is due to the moderating effect of the ocean. The large body of water helps regulate temperature fluctuations by absorbing and releasing heat more slowly than land. Therefore, coastal areas experience milder and more stable temperatures compared to inland areas.
What area is mostly around Lake Maracaibo?
It is mostly swamp-like land.
Does the temp. of water change more slowly than the temp of land?
Yes, water has a very high "heat capacity".
