Which property of water causes coastal communities to have only moderate differences in daily highs and lows when compared to inland communities? A. Low viscosity B. High viscosity C. High heat capacity D. High salinity E. High surface tension

C. High heat capacity

Explanation:

Water helps maintain temperature of communities close to it. It does this by absorbing heat emanating from the communities around the water bodies such as rivers and seas in a process known as convection current. In exchange for absorbing the heat from the land, the river or sea supplies the land with cool sea breeze. This exchange will help maintain temperature at a close range.
