Textbook Question
Chapter 3, Problem 4TYK
Climates tend to be moderate near large bodies of water because

- b. water absorbs heat from the environment as it cools.
- c. the high specific heat of water helps to moderate air temperatures.
- d. a great deal of heat is absorbed as hydrogen bonds form and released as hydrogen bonds break.
