I would hardly call it "resist" but these changes are changes of state, and there has to be a heat transfer to or from the surroundings. This heat is called "latent heat". To go from liquid to solid (ice), heat has to be transferred away (by a wind for example). To go from liquid to gas (vapor, steam) heat has to be supplied (hot air, sun's radiation for example). These heat changes can take time.

Why water tends to resist changes in temperature?

Water is highly cohesive. Its molecules tend to resist increases in their motion. When water is heated, some of the energy is used to disturb the hydrogen bonds between neighboring molecules.


How does air temperature affect air temperature?

Air temperature greatly affects water temperature. When the sun is strong, it increases the temperature of the air and water. On the other hand, when the sun is less intense, the temperature of the air and water decreases.


What factor greatly increases the reaction between carbon dioxide and water?

An increase in temperature greatly increases the reaction between carbon dioxide and water. Higher temperatures provide more thermal energy for the molecules to react and form carbonic acid more efficiently.


What increases in water before it evaporates?

The temperature of water increases before it evaporates.


The density of sea water increases as?

the density of sea water increases as salinity increases and temperature decreases


The Solubility of KCLO3s in water increases as the?

temperature increases.


What process in the water cycle increases as the temperature increases?

Evaporation.


Airs ability to hold water vapor increases as what increases?

Air's ability to hold water vapor increases as temperature increases. Warmer air can hold more water vapor compared to cooler air.


What happens to the molecules of water when the temperature of the water increases?

When the temperature of water increases, the molecules of water move faster and farther apart, causing the water to expand and eventually turn into steam.


Does the volume of salty water increase when its temperature increases?

Yes, the volume of salty water generally increases when its temperature increases because warm water tends to expand and become less dense. The increase in volume with higher temperature is known as thermal expansion.


Which property of water allows it to resist rapid changes in temperature?

Water's high specific heat capacity is the property that allows it to resist rapid changes in temperature. This means that water can absorb or release a large amount of heat energy without its temperature changing significantly.
