a. Water has a high specific heat. Relate this property to the changing climate and the capacity of bodies of water to act as temperature buffer. b. The boiling point of water is unusually high. Relate this property to cases of small bodies of water which dries up easily considering the fact that the boiling point of water is unusually high.
