Question

in balancing the temperature on earth, how is specific heat of water useful? ​

Answer 1

Hiii MATe ☺☺

The oceans play a large role in climate at both a regional and global scale because water has an ability to resist sudden changes in temperature. Because of this, water is said to have a high specific heat. Specific heat is the amount of heat it takes to raise or lower the temperature of one gram of a substance by 1°C.

Answer 2

The high heat capacity of water also helps regulate the rate at which air changes temperature, which is why the temperature change between seasons is gradual rather than sudden, especially near the oceans. This same concept can be expanded to a world-wide scale.
