Answer: sand should both heat and cool faster than water

Explanation: water has a higher specific heat capacity than sand- meaning that it takes a lot of heat, or energy, to raise the temperature of water  one degree, whereas it takes comparatively little energy to change the temperature of sand by one degree

The sand should both heat and cool faster than the water. This is because water has a higher specific heat ca- pacity than sand – meaning that it takes a lot of heat, or energy, to raise the temperature of water one degree, whereas it takes comparatively little energy to change the temperature of sand by one degree.
