Interactions of water with cadiant energy -Our climate, like most coastal climates, is fairly reqular, mild, and is colled "temperate" -The reason for this our proximity to the water -Water heats up and cools down much more slowly than air does -This is due to water having a very large specific heat capacity -Specific heat capacity tells us how much energy (mesured in "Joules") is needed to change the temperutuer of one gram of substanvce by one degree celcius. -The equation we use for it is Q = MC’T
