Respuesta :

Land is hotter than water because Land surfaces absorb much more solar radiation than water. This is due to the fact that most land surfaces are darker than water which of course means more absorption of solar radiation and heatWater reflects most solar radiation that reaches its surface back to the atmosphere.this also causes water to heat up longer and cool down slower than land would

The temperature of the rock is higher than that of the water because the specific heat capacity of the water is more than rock.

Specific Heat Capacity:

  • It is the amount of heat energy required to increase the temperature of 1 kg of a substance 1°C.
  • If the specific heat capacity of a substance is higher, then it needs more heat energy to raise its temperature.
  • The specific heat capacity of the water is more than rock.

Therefore, the temperature of the rock is higher than that of the water.
