The land heats and cools more quickly than water

TiliK225 [7]3 years ago

<u>ANSWER:</u>

The statement that describes a difference between land and water surfaces is that the surface of land heats up and gets cooler quickly that of the surface of the water.

<u>EXPLANATION:</u>

  • Both land and a water surface get heated due to the solar radiation during the day time and eventually cool during the night time.
  • However, the land absorbs more heat than water because it is quite dark than water surfaces. Darker materials tend to absorb more heat.
  • Water also absorbs heat but most of it is bounced back to the atmosphere.
  • After the land absorbs the heat, it is consumed by the vegetation and most of the heat is also absorbed by the soil. This results in faster cooling than that of water.

Why is it that areas around the saline water bodies receive less rainfall as compared to the ones around fresh water bodies?​
dexar [7]

Answer:

Water in this area may have been leftover from ancient times when saline seas occupied the western U.S., and, also, as rainfall infiltrates downward into the ground, it can encounter rocks that contain highly soluble minerals, which turn the water saline.

What are some key facts about Cairo? What are some push and pull factors of Cairo?
Lilit [14]
Cairo is fan-shaped, narrowest in the south, where the river valley is wedged between desert escarpments, and widest in the north, where the valley blends into the delta. Over the centuries the city expanded westward, as a receding river channel left land flood-free. Lining the banks of the Nile River, Cairo is a fusion of ancient. Churches are built atop Roman ruins and skyscrapers rise behind medieval monuments. Egypt's capital is best known for preserving the last of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, but the city contains infinite treasures beyond the Pyramids of Giza.
