The specific heat capacity represents the amount of energy, in joules, that it takes to raise the temperature of one gram of a given substance by one degree Celsius. Put more simply, the amount of energy it takes to raise a quantity of water by one degree Celsius would raise an equivalent quantity of sand by a little over 14 degrees. Likewise, sand does not need to lose nearly as much energy as water to produce equivalent cooling. Since it "holds" a lot less energy, it cools down much faster than sand.
Indeed, liquid water has an unusually high specific heat capacity. Because it is much less prone to temperature swings than other common substances, large bodies of water often work to moderate temperatures in a region. This helps to explain, for example, why average temperatures fluctuate very little over the year in San Francisco, a city whose climate is heavily influenced by the water that nearly surrounds it.
Answer:
Results suggest that under present circumstances, Australia and the USA each should take responsibility of 10 per cent each of the overall global share of climate refugees, followed by Canada and Saudi Arabia (9 per cent each), South Korea (7 per cent) and Russia, Germany and Japan (6 per cent each).

Most plant can't grow in darkness because they need energy from light to carry out photosynthesis
Deposition by the river replenishes soil in the wetlands with sediment and nutrients illustrates a positive effect that the Nueces River has on the wetlands.
Option: C
Explanation:
A river in its lower course leave the high elevated area and enters into the flat land. In the lower course of the river deposition is the prime work of a river. Estuary, delta are some of the landform that formed in the lower course of a river. Here, Nueces estuary is formed where Nueces river enters into the gulf.
In this gulf a wetland is formed which supports aquatic life and a dwelling place for them and land species also. Here, river deposits all its sediments and replenish the soil of wetland with new sediments and nutrients.
Answer:
Flooding
Explanation:
It absorbs some of the water into the soil
