Diffetial Heating And Cooling Of Land And Sea

Question 1

The land heats up quickly during the day and loses heat (cools down) quickly during the

Question 2

night. This means that the land is hot during the day and cold during the night.

Question 3

Remember:

Question 4

The sea heats up slowly during the day and loses heat (cools down) slowly during the night.

Question 5

This leads to the sea being cool during the day and warm during the night.

Question 6

Land heats up quickly and cools down quickly while the

Question 7

Sea heats up slowly and cools down slowly.

Question 44

During summer, the land heats up quickly because of plentiful sunlight while the sea heats

wahy In winter the land cools down quickly while the sea cools down slowly.

Question 47

What causes the land to heat up quickly and the sea to cool down quickly?

Question 49

Different places receive different amount of heat depending on the molecules that forms the

land and the sea.

Question 51

UNIT MODULE 2

Question 52

The land, sea and air and their ability to gain and loose heat depends on their molecule

Question 53

structure. The land is solid and its molecule st

Question 54

e structure is compact together and heat is gained

Question 55

quickly as it spreads quickly. Sea, being liquid has molecules spaced further apart from each

Question 56

other. This means heat passes very slowly through the molecule structure from one particle

Question 57

to the next.

Question 58

The land has solid molecules (particles are closed together) that enables heat or the cooling

Question 59

effect to pass easily to all the particles very quickly.
