Quantity of Heat = Mass x Heat Capacity x Temperature Change
This may be shortened to:
q = mcΔT
where:
q = Quantity of heat in Joules (J) m = Mass of the substance in grams (g) c = Specific Heat Capacity (Jg-1) ΔT = Change in Temperature (Δ = This symbol is "delta", which is Greek for "change")
Answer:
A reference point is a place or object used for comparison to determine if something is in motion. An object is in motion if it changes position relative to a reference point. Objects that are fixed relative to Earth – such as a building, a tree, or a sign - make good reference points.

Because water is so good at storing heat energy, it is harder for organisms to experience a change in body temperature in harsher climates.
