Question

give reason for the following
land is heated and cooled faster than the sea
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Land surfaces absorb much more solar radiation than water. ... Water reflects most solar radiation that reaches its surface back to the atmosphere. Since land absorbs more solar radiation the land surface retains more heat as do the vegetation for energy. Thus, land surfaces warm more quickly than water.

Answer 2

Answer:

Land is heated and cooled faster than the sea, this is because land is heated and cooled faster than the sea because water is mobile and the warm water mixes easily with the cold water and is neither heated nor cooled quickly. On the other hand, the Sun's rays heat a piece of land more rapidly because unlike water, the heat obtained by the area remains confined to that area and does not mix with other areas of land.
