Physiological fuel values are real energy values <span>of foods that are digested and absorbed in which it can be determined using a bomb calorimeter to measure the heat of combustion of a particular food. A bomb calorimeter uses adiabatic conditions to monitor the heat temperature change inside the device.</span>
Warm because land gains heat faster than water when heated by the sun. The heated land then transfers the heat to the atmosphere. The air mass is dry becasue a continent is mainly land and very little water (unlike oceans). There is, therefore, very little moisture in the continental tropical air mass.
