Hurricanes are driven by the energy they get from ocean water. Which property of water allows it to retain the energy needed to power a hurricane?

Your answer is, high specific heat

A high specific heat capacity means it can hold a large amount of thermal energy in for a low mass or temperature change. It is also good at keeping in thermal energy, for example: Object: Mass .

Formula for high specific heat:

The specific heat capacity is the heat or energy required to change one unit mass of a substance of a constant volume by 1 °C. The formula is

answer: the rate of diffusion increases with increase in temperature.

increase in temperature, increases the molecular/particles speed (kinetic energy. diffusion means movement of particles through the material.

generally, the heavier the particle the more it interacts with the environment and more the temperature matters. so higher temperature results in higher diffusion.
