Front (Question)

Water is also able to retain heat better than many substances (i.e., resist cooling). This is because ...

Back (Answer)

for water to decrease in temperature, water molecules must be made to move more slowly within the water; this requires the forming of hydrogen bonds, and the forming of hydrogen bonds gives off heat (hence counteracting cooling tendencies as heat is lost from liquid water)
