It will cling on to many objects and act as a glue. Capillary Action is an example of cohesion and adhesion working together to move water up a thin tube. The process of soaking into a hydrophilic substance. Water being taken into a sponge, into a seed, into paper towels. Heat is the total quantity of kinetic energy due to molecular motion.
Temperature measures the intensity of the average kinetic energy of the molecules.
Heat and temperature are not the same thing. A Kilocalorie or large C equals 1,000 small calories. It takes 1,000 calories to raise 1,000g. of water 1 degree C. Nutritional Packaging has the calorie measurements in Kilocalories. This means 3,000 small calories or 3 Kilocalories. This high specific heat allows water to act as a heat sink.
