The question becomes impossibly complex if we take "work" to mean human effort.

But if we simply interpret "work" in the formal sense of Physics, then "energy" and

"a specific amount of work" are essentially synonymous, and therefore equal.

What is the amount of energy that it takes to raise temperature of 1gram of substance by 1 degree kelvin?

Heat energy, although almost any energy will become heat. The amount of energy required depends on the substance.


What is the latent heat of fusion?

The amount of energy it takes to boil a substance


A substance with a higher specific heat will take more energy to raise its temperature?

It means that it takes more energy to produce the same increase in temperature in the same amount. For example it takes more energy to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree than it does to do the same with 1 gram of iron. Therefore water has a higher specific heat.

What accounts for the differences in the amount of temperature change between water and land?

their specific heat, the specific heat is the amount of jewls (unit of work) divided by mass (kg). land has an average specific heat of 300-800. water has a specific heat of 4180 which means it takes much more energy to heat up or cool it down


What is a simple definition of specific heat?

the amount of heat needed to raise the temeperature of 1kg of some material by 1 degrees celsius(or 1K)
