water has a remarkably high specific heat, i.e. the amount of heat required to change of the temperature of a fixed mass of water by a fixed number of degrees is quite high compared to what it would take to change the same mass of most other substances the same number of degrees.

Why is seawater dangerous to drink?
It is high in sodium and possibly pollutents
Why should the coefficient of thermal expansion of a refractory metal be the lowest?
refractory metals have high melting points and are used in extremely hot environments; if expansion coefficient is lower this prevents high stresses that can develop due to thermal gradients during the high heat up. It helps to have high thermal conductivity as well
I where did high thermal energy flow at mid ocean ridge come from?
>.<
Which property of water explains why seawater contains over 20 different elements?
Its not Universal Solvent its actually High heat capacity
Which mineral has the highest concentration with in seawater?
Sea water with high salinity, low temperatures, and high pressure has the greatest density.
What is the difference between seawater and freshwater?
Seawater has very high levels of sodium , salt, from materials in the sand, freshwater, lakes and ponds, have very low, if any salt levels , so, never consume seawater without first filtering it, it will kill you.
Why water is a very efficient thermal buffer?
Water has a high heat capacity, which can be described as "thermal inertia". That means that water can absorb a large amount of heat energy.
Why is seawater dangerous to drink?
It is high in sodium and possibly pollutents
How is Marina Bay going to be converted into Singapore's 15th reservoir?
Firstly, we build the Marina Barrage to separate and convert seawater to freshwater for drinking. It controls high tides and floods by pouring water out of the reservoir. Next, we have to ensure that the water in Marina Bay is mostly freshwater and the dam is safe before all the water-skiing action begins in 2010/11.
Is newspaper a thermal conductor?
Yes, it is a material with a high thermal conductivity.
Why do you have high and low sea water suction?
When the ship is at the port, the water is shallow therefore we use high seawater suction. If the low seawater suction was used instead, impurities such as sand would be sucked into the system..
Why aluminum has high thermal expansion coefficient than Copper?
Why aluminium has high thermal expansion coefficient than Copper?"
What is gases thermal energy?
high
Why does gil webber have a tank on his head on monster high?
Because he is from freshwater and needs to breathe freshwater instead if air.
Do elements that have high electric conductivity also have high thermal conductivity?
Usually it is, but exceptional case is of Graphite which has low thermal conductivity.
A what is a material through which energy can be easily transferred as heat?
Any material which has high thermal conductivity can easily transfer energy as heat. As far as I know, all metals have high thermal conductivity. Copper, gold and silver especially have high thermal conductivity. Diamond and graphene have VERY high thermal conductivity, so this is not restricted to only metals.
Why places near the sea have high humidity?
Places near the sea have high humidity because the seawater evaporates into the air.
