Question

multiple choice 1 point which of these statements about water and its thermal properties is correct? water has low heat of fusion water heats up and cools down faster than most solids water can absorb or release heat slowly, helping stabilize temperature in organisms and environments because of its thermal properties, water cannot buffer temperature changes

Explanation:

Water has a high specific - heat capacity, meaning it absorbs or releases heat slowly, which helps stabilize temperature in organisms and environments. It does not heat up and cool down faster than most solids. Also, water has a relatively high heat of fusion.

Answer:

Water can absorb or release heat slowly, helping stabilize temperature in organisms and environments.
