Hydrosphere Review

Property of water: Water molecules attracted to water molecules

• Cohesion
• Condensation
• Evaporation
• Adhesion

Water attracted to other substances

• Evaporation
• Cohesion
• Filtration
• Adhesion

Skin like property of water

• Boiling point
• Density
• Viscosity
• Surface tension

Movement of water along the surface of another material in spite of other forces like gravity

• Condensation
• Capillary Action

• Evaporation
• Osmosis

The reason why it take a lot of energy to raise the temperature of water by one degree

• Capillary Action

• High Specific Heat Capacity

• Ice is less dense

• Water is a poor conductor of heat.

Upwelling is when (choose all that apply)

• Nutrients along with minerals are brought up from the deep and provide for marine life

• When warm water is piled up on the coast line and brings new weather patterns inland.

• Strong winds blow surface water away from shore and deep water rises to take its place

• When wind is pushed up a mountain side causing trees to drop fruit and seeds to creatures below.

How are waves created (choose all that apply)

• The wind blowing across the surface of a body of water.

• large ocean creatures moving near the surface of the ocean

• The spin of the Earth (the Coriolis effect)

• Tsunamis (Earthquakes)

Which best describes the Coriolis Effect?

• The Coriolis Effect is the gravitational pull on ocean currents.
• The Coriolis Effect is the change in temperature due to altitude.
• The Coriolis Effect is the process of photosynthesis in plants.
• The Coriolis Effect is the apparent deflection of moving objects due to Earth's rotation.
