Answer: D.) It allows water to resist freezing and thawing cycles.

The ability of the water molecule to absorb and retain heat is called as heat capacity of water, because of this property the temperature of water remains the same for long, irrespective of the external environment. It allows water to resist freezing and thawing cycles because water molecules will resist change in it's temperature. This temperature regulation will prevent instant heating and cooling, hence, will provide suitable environment for the survival of marine organisms.

Jasmine earned $150 last week.Jay earned $130 last week. they combined their money and decided to donate 1/4 of their total amou
vova2212 [387]
Last night Jasmine and Jay amount combined is $150+$130=$280
amount donated to charity is 1/4 of $280= $70
amount spent at an amusement park is` 40/100 x $210= $84
the remaining money = 280- (70+84)= $126

35% of their original amount is 35/100x$280=$98

so Jay's claim is not correct because the remaining money is $126 and not $98 as she Jay claims.
