Specific Heat of Water: It takes 1 cal of energy to heat 1 cm 3 of water 1 o C Specific Heat of Air: It takes.0003 cal of energy to heat 1 cm 3 of air 1 o C A) Specific Heat THERMAL STABILITY OF WATER
18
B) Phase Changes: Latent Heat of Evaporization Quitobaquito, Organ Pipe National Monument, AZ Evaporating Water Absorbs a Tremendous Amount of Heat Energy THERMAL STABILITY OF WATER (Cooling Effect on Surroundings)
19
C) Phase Changes: Latent Heat of Fusion Freezing Water Releases a Tremendous Amount of Energy THERMAL STABILITY OF WATER (Warming Effect on Surroundings)

COPING WITH EXTREME TEMPERATURE ADAPTATION: an anatomical, physiological or behavioral characteristic that improves an individual’s ability to survive and reproduce under prevailing environmental conditions.
21
ADAPTATION: Result from Evolutionary Processes Reproductive Output Exceeds Capacity of Environment
22
ADAPTATION: Result from EVOLUTIONARY PROCESSES Variation
23
ADAPTATION: Result from EVOLUTIONARY PROCESSES Intraspecific Competition
