how do you appreciate the role of the higher specific heat of water in stabilising atomspheric temperature during winter and summer seasons? |
|
Answer» specific heat means the substance can absorb or discard high amount of energy with LESS change in its TEMPERATURE. During summer, the water evaporates from rivers, ponds etc. by absorbing energy from ATMOSPHERE and water bodies. The evaporated water takes very high energy with it and hence LEAVES the atmosphere and the water bodies relatively at a lower temperature. So we get temperatures of both water sources and atmosphere relatively lower. |
