QUESTION
Which cools and heats faster , water or land ?
ANSWER
- The land cools faster than water for a few primary reasons. Firstly, the heat capacity of water is significantly greater than the soil or rock of land areas. Secondly, the land is a natural insulator and only the top layer absorbs most of the heat. And, in the case of water, it is fluid and mixes (convection) allowing the heat to penetrate to lower layers. Since the water is also transparent, radiant heat penetrates more easily and deeper.
