Select the correct text in the passage. Identify the phrase that illustrates an impact of the high specific heat of water. Water has a number of unique properties. It is one of the best solvents on Earth, which is why oceans contain saltwater. Oceans can even influence the weather and climate. For example, cities located near large water bodies like oceans tend to not have extreme climates. On a microscopic level, water expands when it freezes at around 0°C. In addition, pure water is transparent, allowing the radiation from the Sun to pass through, which is essential for underwater life to thrive.
