Question

Land gets heated up easily than the sea during the daytime because the specific heat capacity of the land is that of the sea.

• A. less than
• B. more than
• C. same as

Answer 1

The correct option is A less than

Specific heat capacity is inversely proportional to the change in temperature for given mass and heat.
$c\propto \frac{1}{\Delta T}$
The specific heat capacity of land is less than that of the sea. Hence, it heats up faster as compared to water.
