Is unusual because it takes a large amount of heat to raise its temperature water's temperature does not change as much as surroundings air or land?
Water has a higher specific heat capacity than land (soil, rocks, etc), and also the sun's radiation is not absorbed by water so easily as for land. Similarly for air. Thus the oceans moderate the temperatures reached under sunlight, and the land near the oceans is always cooler than that inland, in summer. In winter though the reverse can be true, because the oceans then become a large store of thermal energy whilst the land cools more quickly in the absence of strong sunlight.
How does climate affect the oceans?
itm has ice in it which causes the sea to cool down so it turns the air colder, so the rain is colder which makes everything it lands on colder :) hope this helpped geo dude!
What is the temperature in Yukon Alaska?
The temperature in Yukon, Alaska can vary greatly depending on the time of year. In general, temperatures in Yukon, Alaska can range from below freezing in the winter to mild in the summer, with average temperatures typically around 20-60 degrees Fahrenheit. It is best to check a reliable weather source for the most up-to-date temperature information.
Which layer has high temperatures but does not feel hot?
The thermosphere, one of the outer layers of Earth's atmosphere, has high temperatures but does not feel hot to us because of the extremely low density of molecules in this layer. The lack of molecules means that there is not enough matter to transfer heat to our bodies, making it feel cold even though the temperatures are high.
Is there any water or volcanos on Haumea?
There is a lot of water on Haumea, though due to its cold temperatures, all of it (at least on the surface) is frozen. We do not know enough about its surface to definitively say if it has volcanoes, though other pieces of evidence suggest it might.
Do two oceans meet in Mexico?
There are not two oceans that meet in Mexico. The Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea meet on Mexico's east side though.
Do all metal melt?
Yes, though they melt at different temperatures.
Do stone fish live in oceans?
Yes,They are found in the coastal regions of Indo-Pacific oceans. They are primarily marine, though some species are known to live in rivers.
How does ocean water help to keep Earth's climates within the range of temperatures safe for life?
Ocean water acts as a heat sink, absorbing and storing the sun's heat. This helps regulate temperatures on Earth by releasing heat slowly into the atmosphere. Additionally, ocean currents transport heat around the globe, distributing it evenly and moderating temperature variations.
Where are iceberg?
Icebergs are in the oceans, though they are located nearer to the top section of Earth, where it is colder and they can last.
Paleontologists noticed that these were the same on different continents even though the contients were separated by oceans?
fossils
How many species of animals are there estimated to be?
There are speculations that 10 million species have already been found. However it is though that we still don't know about 90 % of the species. These species live in places which are inaccessible to humans like deep oceans, high mountains, etc.
What is the killer whale's range?
The range is many though out the oceans. They swim throught out groups of 10 and are not killer
Which ocean does the international dateline pass though?
The International Dateline passes through the Pacific and Southern Oceans.
Do oceans make climates fast or slow?
Fast, I think Cross reference to make sure though.
What temperature do sea urchins live in?
Sea urchins prefer temperatures at 82 degrees. They can live in salt water temperatures from 72 to 86 degrees though.
What are the effects of being landlocked?
It's harder to get places and you can't use the water for transportation. There can also be fluctuating temperatures, especially in places like the middle of the US. Weather can be different.
