Julia Hickman · Answer 1

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. The property of water that is responsible for this activity is its high heat capacity. Water can absorb high amounts of heat before there is an observed rise in temperature. It has the highest heat capacity among all liquids. This is caused by the presence of hydrogen bonding in water molecules.

The answer for above statement is:

B) High heat of vaporization

Explanation:

The region we are all living things that embody animals and plants. The lithosphere is all the solid earth components like rocks, mountains, soils and land forms. The atmosphere are all the gases that surround our planet. The method the region facilitates movement of water from the lithosphere to the atmosphere is evaporation. The water evaporates from within the soils through the vegetation and from the revere, lakes and oceans.

This gaseous water accumulates as water vapor in the atmosphere then comes back to the lithosphere and region.
