Due to the low specific heat capacity of water the temperature of water changes much more quickly than the temperature of

land.

This statement is TRUE.

Explanation:

Due to the high heat capacity of water, it takes much more energy to have a gram of water raised by one degree compared to one gram of land. This is why during a hot day, the ground gets hotter faster than the adjacent oceans or adjacent lakes. It also takes water to lose the same amount of energy to have its temperatures drop by one degree as compared to land. During the night, therefore, this is why adjacent water bodies remain relatively warmer than land.
