Answer 4

Which heats up and cools down faster, land or water?

Answer 5

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Land tends to heat up and cool down faster than water. This is because land has a lower specific heat capacity compared to water. As a result, it requires less energy to raise or lower the temperature of land compared to water.

Answer 6

3% of Earth's total water is Freshwater. How much of Earth's freshwater is frozen in ice caps and glaciers?

Which category makes up the largest amount of Earth's Surface/Other Freshwater sources?

Answer 9

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

- Maritime and polar are examples of air masses.

- A convection current is a circular motion caused by the rising and sinking of fluid or gas due to differences in density caused by temperature variations.
- The term for "the pressure that air exerts as it is being pulled to earth by gravity" is atmospheric pressure.
- High Pressure Systems are areas of air with higher atmospheric pressure compared to the surrounding areas.
- Saline refers to a solution containing a high concentration of salt.
- Approximately 69% of Earth's freshwater is frozen in ice caps and glaciers.
- The largest amount of Earth's surface/other freshwater sources is found in groundwater.

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To accurately determine the category that makes up the largest amount of Earth's Surface/Other Freshwater sources, I would need to analyze the accompanying bar graphs, which you mentioned, but unfortunately, I cannot see or analyze visual content. However, based on the options you provided, "Swamps" seems to be the category that makes up the largest amount of Earth's Surface/Other Freshwater sources.
