Question

Which of the following is a result of the specific heat differences between land and ocean

Answer 1

Answer:

Land and sea breeze

Explanation:

Specific heat differences between the land and ocean results in land and sea breeze occurring.

The ocean has a higher specific heat capacity. This implies that it requires more heat to cause an increase in temperature of a water body. In like manner, water loses heat very slowly.

The land has a low specific heat and it loses and gains heat faster.

• During the day, air around the land area is warmer compared to that of the ocean.
• The movement of air from the ocean to the land during the day is called the sea breeze.
• The reverse process occurs in the night to form land breeze
