Insolation heats up the land masses more quickly than the water bodies because ________ Correct Answer Water needs more energy to get warm

This is due to the fact that most land surfaces are darker than water which of course means more absorption of solar radiation and heat. Since land absorbs more solar radiation the land surface retains more heat as do the vegetation for energy. Thus, land surfaces warm more quickly than water.
