Florida is bordered by water on three sides. which property of water moderate florida’s coastal areas? a) low specific heat, which results in fast, large changes in water temperature b) high specific heat, which results in fast, large changes in water temperature c) low specific heat, which results in slow, small changes in water temperature d) high specific heat, which results in slow, small changes in water temperature

The property of water that helps moderate Florida's coastal areas is the high specific heat capacity, which results in slow, small changes in the temperature of water. One unique property of water is the high heat capacity, highest of all liquids other than liquid ammonia. It is as a result of the hydrogen bond between water molecules. The high heat capacity of water keeps it temperature within a relatively narrow range, causing nearby coastal areas to also have a narrow daily and seasonal temperature range. 

Yes he thought they should be left to chance why, because he thought that was the best thing to do
