• most of it is found at the North and South Poles.

• water molecules tend to stick together.

• it falls as sleet or snow when temperatures are cold.

• it can be attracted using a magnet.

Tightness across the surface of water that is caused by polar molecules pulling on each other is called

• surface tension.

• capillary action.

• condensation.

• polar action.

Water is often called the universal solvent because

• it can cling to the fibers of paper and cloth.

• it dissolves so many substances.
