	specific heat. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		ratio of the heat capacity of a substance to the heat capacity of a reference substance, usually water.
		Heat capacity is the amount of heat needed to change the temperature of a unit mass 1°.
		Because the heat capacities of most substances vary with changes in temperature, the temperatures of both the specified substance and the reference substance must be known in order to give a precise value for the specific heat.

	Specific heat capacity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The specific heat capacity (symbol c or s, also called specific heat) of a substance is defined as heat capacity per unit mass.

		Specific heat is defined as the amount of heat energy required to raise 1 g of a substance by 1° Celsius.
		Water is slower to heat, but is also slower to lose heat, so the temperatures in the area do not fluctuate to the extremes as areas distanced from large bodies of water.
		Since the mass of the water is known, as well as the change in temperature and specific heat of the water, it is simple to calculate how much heat energy was needed to produce the temperature change.

	Specific Heat
		specific heat of a substance is defined at the amount of heat that must be absorbed or lost for 1 g of that substance to change its temperature by 1º C. The specific heat of water is 1.00 cal/g ºC. Compared with most other substances, water has an unusually high specific heat.
		Heat must be absorbed in order to break hydrogen bonds, and heat is released when hydrogen bonds form.
		A calorie of heat causes a relatively small change in the temperature because must of the heat energy is used to disrupt hydrogen bonds before the water molecules can begin moving faster.
