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

before, trains worked using the steam engine. thus, it uses heat so it is crucial to apply heat balance. the steam engine absorbs energy during the stage of boiling water. so, this is the endothermic reaction. when the steam is used to work the piston, it has to release this energy through running the train. the excess energy is released as an exhaust to the chimney. this is the exothermic process because it releases energy to the surroundings.
