Water and Weathering Review

What is a polar molecule?

• A molecule with low cohesion

• A molecule with high surface tension

• A molecule with no electrically charged areas

• A molecule with electrically charged areas

What is surface tension?

• The tightness across the surface of water

• The force that causes water to stick to itself very easily

• The attraction of one substance to another unlike substance

• The ability to dissolve just about anything

What is cohesion?

• The tightness across the surface of water

• The force that causes water to stick to itself very easily

• The ability to dissolve just about anything

• The attraction of one substance to another unlike substance

What is adhesion?

• The ability to dissolve just about anything

• The tightness across the surface of water

• The force that causes water to stick to itself very easily

• The attraction of one substance to another unlike substance

What is the solvent in a solution?

• The part of a solution present in a lesser amount and dissolved by the solvent

• The part of a solution present in the largest amount

• The attraction of one substance to another unlike substance

• The ability to dissolve just about anything

What is the solute in a solution?

• The attraction of one substance to another unlike substance

• The part of a solution present in a lesser amount and dissolved by the solvent

• The part of a solution present in the largest amount

• The ability to dissolve just about anything

What is chemical weathering?

• The breaking down of Earth's rocks, soils and minerals through direct contact with the planet's elements

• The process that breaks down rock through chemical changes

• The ability to dissolve just about anything

• Rain that is more acidic than normal
