Which factor causes the surface of Lake Ontario to cool at a slower rate than the surface of the land along the shore of the lake?

• Sunlight passes through the top layers of the lake water.

• Water vapor cools the lake as it condenses.

• Lake water has a higher specific heat than land.

• Evaporating water releases more heat into the lake than into the land.
