Oceans and seas can act as a heat reservoir to regulate climates. They can absorb great quantities of heat in the summer, with v

ery little temperature change. In the winter, oceans and seas release the heat. This is the main reason why coastal climates are milder compared to inland climates. Which choice correctly explains this phenomenon? the high specific heat of water caused by hydrogen bonding the high specific heat of water caused by hydrogen bonding the high freezing point of water caused by the strength of its covalent bonds the high freezing point of water caused by the strength of its covalent bonds the high boiling point of water caused by hydrogen bonding the high boiling point of water caused by hydrogen bonding the high heat of vaporization of water caused by nonpolar bonds

Answer:

The high specific heat of water caused by hydrogen bonding

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity of a substance is the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of that substance by one degree Celsius (1° C).

Due to the hydrogen bonding present in water, water has a high specific heat capacity of 4184 Joules per kilogram. This means that, water has to absorb 4,184 Joules of heat for the temperature of one kilogram of water to increase 1°C. When compared to other substances such as metals, this is very high. For example, the specific heat capacity of copper is 385  Joules per kilogram which means that it only takes 385 Joules of heat to raise 1 kilogram of copper 1°C.

Therefore water, can absorb a large quantity of heat with very little changes in its temperature. This property of water helps the oceans and seas to serve as heat reservoirs by absorbing a large quantity of heat in hotter seasons and releasing these heat in colder seasons.

I'm not entirely sure if I'm correct with this, but I'll try...

Adolescence has to do something with mentality, or how the brain works. It occurs from things like family issues, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, (substance: drugs) sexual abuse, violence, things like that. Men are more likely to suffer from it (I think).

Welp, I've thrown in my two cents, sorry if It's incorrect, at least I tried, lol.

What kind of evidence would be needed in order to change any part of cell theory?
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

In order to change any part of the cell theory, we will have to prove that the cells are not the basic unit of life. We will have to provide evidence that a cell does not distinguish a living thing from a non-living thing. We will either have to prove the spontaneous generation to be true or have to prove that if not cells, then what are the basic units of life. We will also need evidence to prove that a cell does not arise from a pre-existing cell.
