9. why do areas near large bodies of water tend to not experience large swings in temperature? (2 points)
water is a covalent compound.
water is a good solvent.
water has a high specific heat.
water has a very high surface tension

Water has a high specific heat.

Explanation: Specific heat is the amount of  heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of substance through .

Water has high value of specific heat as the water molecules are bonded strongly through hydrogen bonds. Thus a large amount of heat is required to break the bonds and increase the kinetic energy of molecules.

This is due to this reason that areas near large bodies of water tend to not experience large swings in temperature.

a polar bond is formed when electrons are shared unevenly between atoms

i don't see a text, but i am gonna assume this *orbit* the curved path, usually elliptical, described by a planet, satellite, spaceship, etc., around a celestial body, as the sun.
