- A land mass is a kind of object
- A continent is a kind of large land mass
- Therefore, a cotinental land mass is a kind of object

- A cotinental land mass is a kind of object
- Continental land masses absorb solar energy
- So, a continental land mass is a kind of object that absorbs solar energy

- Absorbing energy causes objects / materials / substances to heat
- Solar energy is a kind of energy
- Therefore, absorbing solar energy causes objects to heat

- A continental land mass is a kind of object that absorbs solar energy
- Absorbing solar energy causes objects to heat
- Hence, absorbing solar energy causes continental land masses to heat

- Continental land masses are located on earth
- If something is located on something else then that something is a part of that something else
- Hence, continental land masses are a part of earth

- If a part of something absorbs heat then that heat will be distributed to the rest of that something
- Absorbing heat causes something to heat
- Therefore, if a part of something is heated then the rest of that something will be heated

- Continental land masses are a part of earth
- If a part of something is heated then the rest of that something will be heated
- Hence, if continental land masses are heated then the earth will be heated

- Absorbing solar energy causes continental land masses to heat
- If continental land masses are heated then the earth will be heated
- So, continental land masses absorbing solar energy causes the earth to heat

- Continental land masses absorbing solar energy causes the earth to heat
- To heat means to warm up
- Hence, continental land masses absorbing solar energy causes the earth to warm up

Therefore, continental land masses absorbing solar energy causes the earth to warm up
Question
