The transfer of thermal energy by convection is a very important process in the temperature distribution on the surface of the Earth. The term sea breeze describes a thermally produced wind blowing from a ocean surface onto adjoining land. Which statement explains this phenomenon? A) Land has a higher specific heat than water. Therefore, the temperature of water does not rise as much as landmass. B) Land has a higher specific heat than water. Therefore, the temperature of landmass does not rise as much as water. C) Water has a higher specific heat than land. Therefore, the temperature of water does not rise as much as landmass. D) Water has a higher specific heat than land. Therefore, the temperature of landmass does not rise as much as water.
