1.) Land and water heat and cool differently. Which heats and cools faster and to a greater degree? (In other words, which will get hotter in summer and colder in winter?) A) Land B) Water DuasThe figure to the left (Figure 1), shows the annual temperature range of San Diego, California (coastal) and Dallas, Texas (interior of the continent). Apply what you know about the difference in the way land and water heats up to determine the answers to the next 2 questions.

Flowing air responding to the difference between higher and lower pressure is responding to the A) pressure gradient B) Coriolis C) frictionExplanation / Answer
Ans 1) land cools faster than water. Water is a slow conductor of heat,thus it needs togain more energy than land in order for its temperature to increase, and same is the case when they are cooling.
so the answer would be, Land , i.e. land will get hotter in summer and colder in winters faster as compared to water,
