I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the third option. Areas near large bodies of water tend to not experience large swings in temperature because water has a high specific heat. <span>That's because water can take up lots of thermal energy, and thus preven wild swings in temperature. </span>
Explanation: Specific heat is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of substance through .
Water has high value of specific heat as the water molecules are bonded strongly through hydrogen bonds. Thus a large amount of heat is required to break the bonds and increase the kinetic energy of molecules.
This is due to this reason that areas near large bodies of water tend to not experience large swings in temperature.
The answer is GAS. Gas has a physical state characterized by having no definite volume or shape and consisting of neutral particles. or it can also be plasma.
