What is an example of water's high specific heat capacity

High Heat Capacity of Water

· * Because most organisms on this planet are mostly made up of water, it is important that water has a high heat capacity because it enables organisms to resist drastic temperature changes.

· * Another example of the high heat capacity of water is how the water in ponds and lakes acts when the weather changes. When it gets hot, the water does not boil because of this high heat capacity.

Hope this helps! XD
