A coastal city and an inland city are at the same latitude. During summer, the inland city becomes much hotter during the day. Which explanation best uses evidence about solar energy and Earth’s surfaces?
a. Land warms faster than water, so the inland surface transfers more heat to the air during the day
b. The inland city receives no solar energy at night
c. Ocean water causes inland air to stop moving
d. Water warms faster than land, so the inland surface transfer more heat to the air during the day
a. Land warms faster than water, so the inland surface transfers more heat to the air during the day
