C. The difference in specific heat capacity between land and water

Explanation:

Land breeze is product of the specific capacity differences between the land and water.

Water has a very high specific heat capacity. It takes a longer time to warm up and lose heat. Land absorbs and loses heat faster.

Due to this, the air around water at night is very warm because the water does not lose heat readily.

The land loses heat faster and the air around it is cold. Cold air is dense.

By convection current, the warm air from the ocean blows landward and the cool air on land replaces them thereby setting up convection current and thus land breeze.

During the day, the reverse is the case. The land is warmer and the air around it is warm too. It moves seaward to replace the cold air on the water and sea breeze is set up.

Explain how the melting of the sea ice may affect<br><br> people living on the coast of Florida.
Levart [38]

Since 2000, melting ice from the continent totaled enough to raise sea levels globally by about four tenths of an inch, according to the report which relied on the work of 90 scientists.  With what’s already baked into the atmosphere, faster melting land ice will likely add between 7.5 and 9.8 inches to earlier U.N. estimates by 2100, the report said.  And because of its position downstream, in an area of “preferential excitement,” South Florida could experience rise at the high end as water sloshes around the planet, Kirtman said.  “Think of it as pushing down the ocean [in Greenland]. The ocean is fluid, so it’s going to respond somewhere else and that somewhere else is down here,” he said.  In South Florida, planners already confronting flooding from sea rise have been more aggressive in assessing sea rise.

How would earths atmosphere be different if organisms capable of photosynthesis has not evolved?
katrin2010 [14]
The Earth's atmosphere would have little or no oxygen. A by-product of photosynthesis is oxygen. Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use energy from the sun to make their own food in the leaves. The process uses sun light, water and carbon dioxide to yield oxygen and simple sugars. The simple sugars are stored in form of starch for future use by the plants, while oxygen is either used for cellular respiration or released to the atmosphere. The process of photosynthesis adds oxygen to the atmosphere and uses carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

expeople1 [14]

When stem cells grown on hard, rigid surface, then they became bone cells. Researchers demonstrate in Nature materials that human mesenchymal stem cells grown on a rigid substrate for some time become biased toward differentiating into bone-cell lineage, whereas cell grown on softer surfaces are just likely to eventually follow a bone or fat cell fate.
