What is the difference in the rate in which land and water heat up?

Group of answer choices

Land heats up faster and cools up faster than water.

Land heats up slower and cools off slower than water.

Water heats up quicker but cools off quicker than land.

Water heats up quicker and cools off quicker than land.

answer:

Radiation from the sun heats up Earth’s landmasses

and oceans. The weather and climate on Earth are

directly dependent on this heat energy transfer, and

so are all the phenomena that accompany weather, such

as winds, tornadoes, hurricanes, rain, snow, and ocean

waves. The heating and cooling differences of land and water affect the

temperature and movement of air masses above the land and water.

Because water has a much higher heat capacity, or specific heat, than do

sands, soils or other materials, for a given amount of solar irradiation

(insolation), water temperature will increase less than land temperature.

Regardless of temperature scale, during daytime, land temperatures might

change by tens of degrees, while water temperature change by less than half

a degree. At the same time, water's high heat capacity prevents rapid

changes in water temperature at night; while land temperatures may drop

tens of degrees, the water temperature remains relatively stable. Moreover,

the lower heat capacity of crustal materials often allows them to cool below

the nearby water temperature. It takes less energy to change the

temperature of land compared to water. This means that land heats and

cools more quickly than water and this difference affects the climate of

different areas on Earth.
