The diagram below represents a cross section of Florida’s coastline. Compared to the change in temperature of the water surface, what will the change in temperature of the land surface be?

• Faster, because the land requires more heat to change the temperature.

• Slower, because the land requires less heat to change the temperature.

• Faster, because the land requires less heat to change the temperature.

• Slower, because the land requires more heat to change the temperature.
