Question

what characteristic of water causes it to change temperature very slowly? the depth of the water transparency high specific heat capacity the taste

Explanation:

To determine the characteristic of water that causes it to change temperature slowly, we analyze each option:

• "the depth of the water": Depth relates to the amount of water but not the inherent property causing slow temperature change.
• "transparency": Transparency is about light passing through, not temperature change rate.
• "high specific heat capacity": Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat required to change the temperature of a substance. Water has a high specific heat capacity, meaning it needs a large amount of heat to change its temperature, so it changes temperature slowly.
• "the taste": Taste is a sensory property and has no relation to temperature change.

Answer:

C. high specific heat capacity
