Which of these statements about heating up water on earth's surface is true? (5 points) water heats up faster than land. water heats up by convection from earth. water heats up by conduction from the sun. water heats up to a lower temperature than land.

Earth's surface and water present on the Earth's surface are exposed to the same amount of heat energy from the Sun. The amount of solar energy required to heat up the same amount of water and land varies. This is dependent upon the specific heat of each of them. Specific heat is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius. Water has a comparatively higher specific heat so, it takes greater energy to heat up water than land. Therefore, we can say that water heats up to a lower temperature than land as the specific heat of water is higher than land.

Hence the correct answer will be: Water heats up to a lower temperature than land.

since the atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus, as we move to the left on the periodic table, the electrostatic pull between the nucleus and the valence electron shell decreases. as we move down a group (vertical column), the valence shell energy level gets further and further from the nucleus.

the answer is b & c i believe : )
