Expert Answer
Dear student
Please post each query seperately.
Water is often used to cool the radiators of the engines in motorcars and trucks etc. as it can draw a large amount of heat without much rise in its own temperature.
The specific heat capacity of water is very high i.e. 4200 J kg-1 Co . It is about 5 times as high as that of sand. So water takes a a very long time to get heated up and an equally long time to get cooled. Thus, there is a large difference in temperature between the land and the sea due to which land and sea breezes are formed.
We hope this clarifies your doubt.
