Does specific heat also mean the amount of energy needed for cooling, or is it only energy for heating?

Answer:

yes it does

here is a more clearer explanation

Explanation:

The specific heat capacity of water is 4,200 Joules per kilogram per degree Celsius (J/kg°C). This means that it takes 4,200 J to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water by 1°C.

Some other examples of specific heat capacities are:

Material Specific heat capacity (J/kg/°C)

Brick 840

Copper 385

Lead 129

Lead will warm up and cool down fastest because it doesn’t take much energy to change its temperature. Brick will take much longer to heat up and cool down. This is why bricks are sometimes used in storage heaters as they stay warm for a long time. Most heaters are filled with oil (1,800 J/kg°C) or water (4,200 J/kg°C) as these emit a lot of energy as they cool down and, therefore, stay warm for a long time.

The specific heat capacity of a material is the energy required to raise one kilogram (kg) of the material by one degree Celsius (°C).

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Climate change is caused by changes in the earth's atmosphere in the amounts of greenhouse gases released into the air. Some scientists believe that 100% of global warming is due to humans. The largest contribution comes from burning fossil fuels because it releases carbon dioxide gas to the air, which is done by humans. Other factors that contribute to climate change include:

>Deforestation- clearing out trees affects wildlife, ecosystems, whether patterns. Forests cover 30% of the lands mass and clearing them leaves many animals without homes.

>Waste from factories- they release tonnes of toxic fumes into the air.

> Agriculture and farming- this is a surprising contributing factor to global warming. Animals produce a greenhouse gas called methane and when livestock are grazed at a large scale, the amount of methane produced is a big contributor to global warming.

     Some fertilizers release nitrous oxide, which is another greenhouse gas.

2. The effects of global warming include:

    >Melting glaciers- this leaves many animals without homes and it also causes a rise in sea levels which causes flooding. (that's 3 effects)

    >Worsening droughts- this leaves many humans to die as they have no food or water.

    >Increasing tornadoes

okay that's all i could do... hope it helps.
