Water has a high heat capacity, or the ability to "hold on to" heat well; this property aids in the regulation of body temperature in both organisms and cells. Sweating is another way that water can be used to cool down an overheated organism.

  • Warm-blooded animals employ water's high heat capacity to more efficiently distribute heat throughout their bodies.
  • Water works like a car's cooling system, moving heat from warm to cold areas and allowing the body to maintain a more constant temperature.
  • The body requires water to maintain temperature because it is a good heat conductor and absorber.
  • Water can absorb a lot of heat before its temperature increases because of its large heat capacity.
  • This characteristic enables the water to function as a buffer against abrupt temperature changes in every cell of the human body.

Why are the moon’s craters preserved?
Bingel [31]
The main reason is that there is no atmosphere. This means that there is no weather and no weather means that there is no wind or rain. Wind and rain are main components of erosion and because there is no erosion, craters can stay preserved for a very long time.

Hope this helps!!
