<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.
