In coastal areas during the summer, land heats up more than the adjacent body of water during _____.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is: c. daylight hours

Explanation:

During the daylight hours in the summers, the land heats up faster than the ocean as it absorbs absorbs more solar radiation than the ocean. This is because the heat capacity of water is greater than the land, which is the heat energy required to increase the temperature by 1 K.

This increases the temperature of the air present above the land, thereby decreasing the air pressure above the land. Thus causing an inward flow of the air from the coast to the land. This is known as the sea breeze.

Answer 2

In coastal areas during the summer season, the land heats up more than of the adjacent body of water during the—letter c, daylight hours. It is because the land has absorb and has lost energy of heat quickly than of the body of water.
