Large bodies of water help to keep nearby climates from being too hot or too cold because they...

absorb heat in the summer and slowly release that heat in the winter

absorb heat in the spring and slowly release that heat in the fall

absorb heat in the fall and slowly release that heat in the spring

absorb heat in the winter and slowly release that heat in the summer

Why does ice stay at the top of oceans instead of sinking to the bottom?

Ice is less dense than liquid water.

Ice is colder than liquid water.

Ice is more dense than liquid water.

Ice is warmer than liquid water.

Small insects can walk across the surface of calm water. Their feet push the surface of the water down slightly, somewhat like a person walking across a trampoline, but they do not break the surface. What is the best explanation for why this happens?

The insects are light enough so that they do not break the hydrogen bonds holding the water molecules together

The insects actually use their wings to hover slightly above the water's surface and they only skim it with their feet

The insects' feet are non-polar, so they are repelled by the polar water molecules and are pushed away from the water's surface

The insects are small enough to see the individual water molecules, so they are able to step carefully from one molecule to the next

Water makes up approximately 60% of the human body and plays a vital role in regulating body temperature. Which property of water makes it good at regulating temperature?

Water has a high capacity for heat.

Water exhibits strong cohesion.

. Water has an unusual crystalline structure.

Water has a much higher specific heat than most other covalent compounds. What do you predict might happen if water had a low specific heat instead?

Organisms that are sensitive to changes in temperature would die

Flooding would occur and animals would be forced to migrate

Harmful organisms living in water would reproduce at a rapid rate

Plants would not have enough water to effectively carry out photosynthesis

Many fish and aquatic plants can survive a cold winter because the layer of ice that forms at the top of the lake insulates the water below and prevents the lake from freezing solid. What unique property of water contributes to this effect?

Water expands and becomes less dense when it freezes.

Water absorbs heat when it evaporates and forms a gas

Water molecules completely separate into ions in solutions.

Water forms hydrogen bonds with ions and other polar substances.

Why does water move from the roots to the leaves of plants?

Capillary action pulls the water molecules like a chain

Water’s cohesion causes it to “pull” towards the leaves
