Large bodies of water, such as lakes and oceans, do not quickly fluctuate in temperature. what is the reason for this phenomenon? a. water is an acid b. water is a universal solvent c. water acts as a buffer d. water has a high heat capacity

The temperature difference and the amount of heat are in direct relationship. Another factor that may affect them is their heat capacity which is constant at a specific range of temperature. For salt water the value is approximately equal to 1 cal/g°C which is quite high compared to other substances. Thus, the answer to the question above is letter D.
