Water's unique properties make it essential for life and Earth's climate. Its high specific heat and latent heats of vaporization and fusion regulate temperatures and weather patterns. The molecular structure allows for hydrogen bonding, making water a versatile solvent and crucial in biological and chemical processes. Its amphoteric nature helps maintain pH balance across various ecosystems.
