Uneven heating of Earth's Surface

An example of uneven heating of Earth's surface can be the heating and cooling of the same volumes of water and soil.  If exposed to the same light source for a period of time and then placed in shade  for another period of time, which will show the fastest rate of heating and cooling?

• water
• soil
• neither, they heat and cool at the same rate
• non of the above
