Question

1. the continental landmasses have a ____ heat capacity.

a. high
b. low
c. moderate
d. negative

Explanation:

To determine the heat capacity of continental landmasses, we recall that water has a high heat capacity, and land (continental landmasses) has a lower heat capacity compared to water. This is because land materials (like rocks, soil) require less heat energy to change their temperature compared to water. So continental landmasses have a low heat capacity.

Answer:

B. Low
