Question

question 13 of 15
the property of water that causes it to moderate the climate around lakes is its ______.

a. heat capacity
b. density
c. dew point

Explanation:

Water has a high heat capacity, meaning it can absorb and release large amounts of heat with little temperature change. This property allows lakes (with water) to moderate the surrounding climate by stabilizing temperatures. Density (B) relates to mass/volume and doesn't directly moderate climate. Dew point (C) is about humidity and condensation, not climate moderation. So the correct answer is A.

Answer:

A. heat capacity
