Answer:
This is the specific heat capacity
Explanation:
The specific heat capacity of water is the quantity of heat energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 g of water by 1 degree.it is due to the aggregation of hydrogen bonding holding water molecules together.
Therefore,large quantity of heat energy is needed to be supplied to raise the temperature of water.
This is an advantage for earth temperature because a significant rise in the earth temperature,would not affect the earth because the ocean would have absorbed the heat.Therefore regulating the earth temperature within the narrow limits
However,during summer little heat is released by the ocean and this cools the earth,this is because the specific heat capacity of the ocean is higher than that of the land,thus as the ocean warms up slowly its warms the earth.
