Question

select the statement that best describes how are water and temperature regulation related. water absorbs very little thermal energy. because of this, it is difficult for water to help regulate earths temperature. water has the ability to absorb a lot of thermal energy before its temperature rises. this helps to regulate the temperatures on earth. water absorbs all of the suns thermal energy. eventually, the water on earth will overheat and evaporate.

Explanation:

Water has a high - specific heat capacity. It can absorb a large amount of thermal energy without a significant increase in temperature, which helps in regulating Earth's temperature. The first statement is incorrect as water absorbs a lot of thermal energy, not little. The third statement is wrong because water does not absorb all of the sun's thermal energy and won't necessarily overheat and evaporate in the way described.

Answer:

Water has the ability to absorb a lot of thermal energy before its temperature rises. This helps to regulate the temperatures on Earth.
