   Surface Material Effects
   The specific heat capacity ($c_p$) and thermal conductivity ($\kappa$) of the surface material are crucial. Sedimentary rocks, particularly those rich in quartz (see Silicate Chemistry), possess a relatively low $TIQ$ compared to deep oceanic basalt, resulting in greater diurnal temperature swings in continental interiors compared to maritime environments [4].
