At normal temperature,
specific heat of air = 1.006
concrete =0.96
water =4.187 (all are in KJ/KgK)
soil = 0.80
So, from <span>Q=mcDeltaT</span><span>
higher the specific heat lower the change in temperature for same quantity of heat supplied.
Therefore, water is the answer.</span>
The one that would explain why the two groups of scientists got different results is : They had different specialties and interpreted their data differently Probably one analyze it with x theory and the other use y theory
