a
Land and water are heated to the same temperature.

b
Land is heated through radiant energy.

c
Land heats up slower than water.

d
Land is heated by conduction.

Answer 1

Answer:

Specific heat of water is higher than that of land. That means the amount of solar energy required to heat water will be more than that of land. So, when same mass of water and land are exposed to solar energy water would require more time to heat up than land. So water heats up to a lower temperature than land.

Answer 2

Answer:

i think the answer is option a
