Why does water heat heat up and cool down VERY SLOWLY?

• High Specific Heat

• Low Specific Heat

• It's solid

• It's always cold

What would be the effect on the particles if more heat is supplied to the system?

• They would slow down
• They would stop moving
• They would speed up
• There would be no effect
