Boiling occurs at a specific temperature throughout the liquid, while evaporation can happen at any temperature.

Front

What is the significance of water's high specific heat?

Back

It means water can absorb a lot of heat before its temperature changes, helping to regulate climate.

Front

What is surface tension in water?

Back

The cohesive force that makes the surface of water behave like a stretched elastic membrane.
