The document compares how quickly soil and water heat up and cool down when exposed to heat from a lamp. The soil absorbs heat faster than water but also releases it faster. Areas near large bodies of water like oceans have more moderate temperatures since warm air flows from the heated land to the cooler sea during the day and from the sea to the land at night.

The soil absorbs heat faster than water. At the same time, the soil releases heat faster compared to water. During daytime, the air above the sea is colder than the air above the land. The warm air flows from land to sea. Thus, the rise of temperature on land would be moderated. During nighttime, warm air would flow from the sea to land, making the temperature on land higher.
