How does water specific heat affect the environment?

Answer 1

Specific heat refers to the amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius. The high specific heat of water has a buffering effect on nature, thus the aquatic ecosystems are well regulated.

Answer 2

The specific heat of water is usually increasing day by day, it is caused by the raising of global temperature. That's why water is very cool in summer seasons and lil bit more hot as compared to past due to increase in the value of specific heat of water.

Answer 3

A large body of water can absorb and store a huge amount of heat from the sun in the daytime and during summer while warming up only a few degrees. And at night and during winter, the gradually cooling water can warm the air. This is the reason coastal areas generally have milder climates than inland rtegions. The high specific heat of water also tends to stabilize ocean temperatures, creating a favorable environment for marine life. THus because of its high specific heat, the water that covers most of Earth keeps temperature fluctuations on land and in water within limits that permit life. Also, because organisms are primarily made of water, they are more able to resist changes in their own temperature than if they were made of a liquid with a lower specific heat

Answer 4

evaporation(liquid water on earth absorbs hear and changes into water vapor)

Answer 5

I don't really think it has an effect, because H is the most common molecule in the atmosphere.

Answer 6

It doesn't really, except the fact that as a result of its specific heat; it takes longer than other elements and compounds to boil.
