How can the specific heat capacity of water be used to regulate temperature? Specific heat capacity is the amount of energy needed to increase the temperature of an object by 1˚C. The formula that uses specific heat is Q = mc∆T‚ where Q is heat energy‚ c is specific heat‚ and ∆T is the change in temperature. The amount of heat energy depends on the mass‚ or the size of an object‚ and the specific heat capacity‚ which depends on the substance it is made from. The specific heat capacity of water is

to regional and global changes in the energy balance‚ and transmits their influences over large distances. In this way‚ the atmosphere serves as a bridge‚ connecting different ocean basins. The ocean has a tremendous capacity to store and release heat (more than 1000 times that of the atmosphere!)‚ which has a remarkable influence on regional climate. For example‚ the annual range of surface temperature in land-locked Beijing is more than 50◦ C‚ while that at the same latitude off the western
