How does water's high specific heat capacity affect large lakes?

D. The water in a lake changes temperature slowly.

Explanation:

for plato users

The water has higher specific heat capacity which affects the lakes largely in such way that the water in a lake changes temperature slowly.

Explanation:

Evaporation is a process of liquid changing its state to gaseous state at any temperature. Water has high specific heat due to the presence of strong hydrogen bonds. Due to which it requires heat in huge amount to raise the water (in large quantity) temperature.

Thus, the molecules will be unable to gain much kinetic energy that result in changing the temperature very slowly.
