Compared to metals, what two factors cause the specific heat of water to appear to be exceptionally high

Water has hydrogen bond within its molecules which is responsible for the high specific heat of water. Also, compared to metals, water has the ability to retain its heat for a longer time and it also takes a longer time for it to get hot. Thus, water has higher capacity for heat than metals.

Firstly, the water in the dams hold gravitational potential energy as they are above ground level. the gravitational potential energy is then transferred to kinetic energy as it falls, spinning the turbinethe turbine then spins the generator, which is a large magnet surrounded by metal coils. by doing this, the generator generates electricity. in this action, the energy transfer taken place is kinetic to electric energy
