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

It forms a front, which is a narrow zone. Also, severe weather
can occur when two air masses meet. Along a front, precipitation
can occur and cause weather changes.

Which clouds develop tornadoes
🔄 Click to see definition
Definition1/18
Tornadoes form in thunderstorms, which are composed of
cumulonimbus clouds. Usually a tornado will form from a wall cloud
that develops are the based of the cumulonimbus cloud, and will
develop from a funnel cloud that comes out of the wall cloud.

Definition1/18
Positive environmental effects of nuclear energy revolve around
air pollution. With nuclear energy, there is less waste that gets
distributed into the atmosphere. The air is actually cleaner due to
the fact that no air pollutants are released.
