Use the picture to answer the questions.

- what happened when you put the hot metal into the cool water? use technical terms.

- what has a higher specific heat, water or the metals?

- explain why areas near the ocean do not experience the same drastic temperature changes between daytime and night time temperatures.

if i didn't give enough information to answer these questions, let me know what you need in the comments.

See below  

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) What happened?

Heat flowed spontaneously from the hotter object (the water) to the cooler object (the metal) until equilibrium was reached (both objects were at the same temperature).

(b) Specific heat capacity

The specific heat capacity is the amount of heat it takes to raise or lower the temperature of 1 g of a substance by 1 °C.

The specific heat capacity of most metals is less than 10 % that of water.

If you have the same masses of metal and water, 1 J of heat will change the temperature of the metal 10 times as much as it does to the water.

The heat lost by the water was the same as the heat gained by the metal. However, the temperature of the water dropped much less than that of the metals increased.

Water must have a higher specific heat capacity than the metals.

(c) Effect of ocean on temperature

The specific heat capacity of water is about six times that of soil and rock.

When the land heats up in daytime, the air above it heats up as well.

The ocean heats up much less than the land, because the water has a high specific heat capacity.

Thus, the air above the water does not heat up as much as the air over the land.

Similarly, the land cools down faster than the ocean.

Therefore, areas near the ocean generally do not experience the same drastic temperature changes between daytime and nighttime temperatures.

answer: option (4) is the correct answer.

explanation:

areas which are at low altitudes and near the equator tend to receive direct sunlight from the sun. hence, heat energy or radiations from the sun make these areas warmer and they have warmest water.

whereas areas which are at high altitudes and away from the equator do no receive direct sunlight. hence, no direct contact from the sun makes these regions colder and thus, they have colder water.

thus, we can conclude that the statement areas at low latitudes near the equator have the warmest water because they receive the most direct sunlight best explains the relationship between an area's geography and the temperature of its surface water.

the mantle

explanation:

earth is divided into three layers: the crust or the outermost layer on which we live; the underlying, middle layer - the mantle - and the core (the innermost layer of earth).
