The correct answer is D. The land warms faster that the ocean.

Explanation

According to the statement the heat capacity of the sea is greater than that of the land, this means the sea needs more heat to increase its temperature in comparison to the land and therefore when the sun shines on a coastal town the land warms or increases its temperature faster than the sea, because the sea has a greater heat capacity. This can be explained as the masses of water are bigger than the terrestrial surface and are influenced by the currents which diffuses heat. So, the correct answer is D. The land warms fsater than the ocean.

The answer is C because as air rises it heats up and lose a its moisture through evaporation, leaving hot dry air for the deserts. This is called the rain shadow effect, where one side of the mountain is moist and cool and the other side is a desert.

Which of the Jovian planets experiences a dramatic seasonal change?

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

A. Jupiter.

Explanation:

As Jupiter has the largest planetary atmosphere its lacks a clear boundary and gradually transitions to the liquid interior of the planet. Having their temperature gradient.
The jovian atmosphere has a large range of active phenomena including the band instabilities and anticyclones, and cyclones and storms and lightning.

These cyclones are large red, or brown such as the Great red spot of Jupiter. Hence, Jupiter has the most powerful type of storms being accompanied by the convection in the atmosphere as the striking of lightning from the clouds in 10 times more stronger than on earth.

Jupiter also consists of upper clouds, located in the low-pressure range are made of ammonia ice. Auroras are a permanent feature of the Jupiter's atmosphere based on the exiting models temperature predictions of the atmosphere are no higher than 400k.

Strong jets have been observed at the equator of the by the deep models. Temperature and winds are found to rise from the equator to the poles, thus confined within zones. As a comparison to the anticyclones, the jovian cyclones tend to be small dark and irregular.
