Question

or a lake. How do the temperatures of the sand
and water compare?
A. The sand is hot; the water is cool.
B. The sand is hot; the water is hot.
C. The sand is cool; the water is cool.
D. The sand is cool; the water is hot.

Answer 1

A. Would be the correct answer :-)

Answer 2

Answer:

D

Explanation:

I say this because of this that I read. There was a study shown

"Our experiment was a success. We obtained data that answered our problem, “Which substance absorbs the most heat on a hot day? Sand, water, or sand with water?” The results showed that from the twenty-five trials: the cup of sand temperature ranged from 63-68°C, cup of water temperature ranged from 71-77°C, and the cup of sand with water temperature ranged from 66-71°C. Based on our data, our hypothesis was incorrect. We hypothesized that the sand would absorb the most heat since it is darker and less reflective than water; but from our data, water absorbed the most heat. In conclusion, sand absorbed the least amount of heat and water absorbed the most. Next time we want to cool down at the beach, we’ll know where to go!"

This was an experiment that was performed and this is the conclusion

Hope that helps
