How is hydrogen bonding responsible for temperature-stabilizing capacity in water?
A concise answer or explanation in your own words would be appreciated.
Due to hydrogen bonding, water has very high heat capacity as several hydrogen bonds must be broken in order to raise temperature which requires large amount of energy.
Due to hydrogen bonding, water absorbs or releases more heat
than many substances for each degree of temperature increase or
decrease. Because of this, it is widely used for cooling and for
transferring heat in thermal and chemical processes.
These properties of water are crucial in stabilizing temperatures

Large bodies of water, such as the oceans or the Great Lakes, are
the world’s great heat reservoirs and
heat exchangers
