Explanation:
Water as a cooling agent acts excellent as a cooling agent in engines. Water is used as coolant car radiators. Due to its high specific heat capacity, it can absorb a large amount of heat energy from the engine of the car, but its temperature does not rise too high. Land has lower heat capacity than sea water

The following are the uses of high specific heat of the water.
Water has a high specific heat capacity of 4.2 J/g, and so it can be beneficial in many ways.
- In-car radiator - Water has a high specific heat capacity and so can be used as coolant in car radiators. Due to its high specific capacity, it absorbs a large amount of heat from car radiators without much raising the temperature of the water.
- Land and sea breeze - Due to the high specific heat capacity of water than that of land, water takes a much longer time to heat and cool than that of land. It gives rise to land and sea breeze.
