Question

PLEASE HURRY UP!! I DON'T HAVE ALL DAY!
Why does a large lake filled with cool water have more thermal energy than much smaller pond filled with warmer water?


A: The molecules in the cool water are moving faster than those in the warm water

B: The total thermal energy is greater in a large body of water than one much smaller

C: Cool water has more thermal energy than warm water

D: Warmer water evaporates more quickly than cooler water

Answer 1

Answer:

B

What is given:

The question states a large lake vs a smaller pond.

Now, you can take out the temperatures given. They are meant to distract you. The larger body of water will always have more thermal energy, hence the fact that it can withstand more than something smaller.

So thereby, the answer is B; The total thermal energy is greater in a large body of water than one much smaller.

Hope this helps! (ik this was asked a while ago, but brainliest would be very kind!)
