Is unusual because it takes a large amount of heat to raise its temperature water's temperature does not change as much as surroundings air or land?

Water has a higher specific heat capacity than land (soil, rocks, etc), and also the sun's radiation is not absorbed by water so easily as for land. Similarly for air. Thus the oceans moderate the temperatures reached under sunlight, and the land near the oceans is always cooler than that inland, in summer. In winter though the reverse can be true, because the oceans then become a large store of thermal energy whilst the land cools more quickly in the absence of strong sunlight.

Is temperature an intensive property?
Temperature would be an intensive property, because it does not depend on the amount of substance being investigated.
Is there a simple formula or calculator to find out how long it takes to freeze a specific amount of water in a certain temperature?
The equation is not that simple. The time takes depends on a lot of variables including: initial temperature of the water geometry of the container amount of convection possible temperature of the surroundings (this is the only one the question mentioned) amount of contact between the water container and any other cold solid surfaces purity of the water (if the water is very pure it freezes at a slightly higher temperature than if it is very hard water - or especially if it is briny)
If heat is produced by a chemical system?
An equal amount of heat will be absorbed by the surroundings.
If heat is released by chemical systems an equal amount of heat will be?
absorbed by the surroundings
Why is a great deal of heat needed to raise the temperature of water by a given amount?
because it has a great heat capacity
How many seconds does it take to melt ice?
That depends on the amount of ice and the ambient temperature of its surroundings.
What variables affect the amount of thermal energy radiated by a potato?
The surface area of the potato and the temperature of its' surroundings
Why is northern Canada a broad niche?
Canada is a broad niche because it has a variety in temperature, amount of sunlight, soil types and types of food for the animals. Many generalists [organisms that can adapt to their surroundings easily] live in broad niches.
What does it mean that the calorimeter is adiabatically isolated from the surroundings?
A calorimeter measures the amount of heat involved in a chemical reaction. A calorimeter that is adiabatically isolated from the surroundings means that any heat that is generated by the material sample under test, causes an increase in temperature.
does anyone know what god looks like?
because an unusual amount of people came back from the dead
Is temperature an intensive property?
Temperature would be an intensive property, because it does not depend on the amount of substance being investigated.
How does heat is differ from temperature?
heat differs because temperature is the amount of coldness and hotness it is in a certain area. and heat is the substance that temperature measures

The amount spent on heating depends on the temperature?
Amount (temperature) or A(t)
If heat is produced by a chemical system?
An equal amount of heat will be absorbed by the surroundings.
If heat is released by chemical systems an equal amount of heat will be?
absorbed by the surroundings
Is temperature an element?
No, temperature is the amount of thermal energy in a given amount of a substance.
