Answer:
high specific heat.
Explanation:
The specific heat is the heat change when one unit mass or volume of a substance undergoes a change in temperature of 1°C.
For example for water it requires 4.18 J or 1 cal of energy to heat one gram of it to change its temperature by 1°C.
Higher the specific heat more the energy required to change the temperature.
The specific heat of water is 4.18J/g°C or 1 cal/g°C.
It is high and thus water requires a large amount of energy before its temperature changes.
