Fill in the blank: Phase changes occur from changes in __________ and/or _______________.

temperature, pressure

400

The state when there are multiple phases occurring at once and the kinetic energy is not changing

Equilibrium

Even when heated by the same sun, wet sand is much cooler than dry sand. Explain why, using specific heat capacity in your argument.

Wet sand has a much higher specific heat capacity as it is combined with water. The higher the specific heat, the harder it is for the sun to heat it up.
