The heat capacity of the ocean is much larger than the heat capacity of the land.
when the sun rises over a coastal town,

the ocean warms faster than the land
the ocean and land warm at the same rate
the ocean cools and the land warms
the land warms faster than the ocean

The correct answer is D. The land warms faster that the ocean.

Explanation

According to the statement the heat capacity of the sea is greater than that of the land, this means the sea needs more heat to increase its temperature in comparison to the land and therefore  when the sun shines on a coastal town the land warms or increases its temperature faster than the sea, because the sea has a greater heat capacity. This can be explained as the masses of water are bigger than the terrestrial surface and are influenced by the currents which diffuses heat. So, the correct answer is D. The land warms fsater than the ocean.
