Answer:

Water is relatively resistant to an increase in temperature.

Explanation:

Water is relatively heat-resistant (high specific heat), so approximately 1/3 of the solar energy that reaches the Earth's surface is dissipated to heat water in rivers, lakes and oceans. As there is a higher incidence of solar radiation in the tropical regions of the globe, ocean currents are important heat carriers for higher latitude regions. This property means that water has a high heating capacity.
