Earth Science Reference Tables Properties of Water

Water makes up approximately 60% of the human body and plays a vital role in regulating body temperature. Which property of water makes it good at regulating temperature?

• Water is a good solvent.
• Water exhibits strong cohesion.
• . Water has an unusual crystalline structure.
• Water has a high capacity for heat.

The faster molecules move, 

• the higher the temperature
• the less temperature
• the same temperature
• I don't know
