The transfer of thermal energy by convection is a very important process in the temperature distribution of the Surface of the E
arth. The term sea breeze describes a thermally produced wind blowing from a ocean surface onto adjoining land. What statement explains this phenomenon? A) Land has a higher specific heat than water. Therefore, the temperature of the water does not rise as much as landmass.
B) Land has a higher specific heat than water. Therefore, the temperature of the landmass does not rise as much as the water.
C) Water has a higher specific heat than land. Therefore, the temperature of the water does not rise as much as landmass.
D) Water has a higher specific heat than land. Therefore, the temperature of the landmass does not rise as much as water.
My original answer was 'A' but it was marked incorrect.
The normally treated group is called the control. Scientists use control to lessen the effects of variables. The accuracy of the results becomes higher. Control groups can be positive or negative depending on the expectation of a phenomenon that would occur in it.
About 8.7 million (give or take 1.3 million) is the new, estimated total number of species on Earth -- the most precise calculation ever offered -- with 6.5 million species on land and 2.2 million in oceans.
