  1. Energy & Water Why is it warmer in the fall in atlanticcanada?

  2. Lakes and rivers and oceans (as liquids) absorb ~ 93% of the sun’s radiation Why doesn’t the lake boil then?

  3. Water has a unique property called “Specific Heat Capacity” (SHC) • S.H.C. is: • The amount of heat that is required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance one degree Celsius

  4. Q = cm∆T Q --- represents heat required C --- represents heat capacity M --- represents mass of object ∆T --- change in temperature (in oC)
