Marine Bio: properties of water/salinity

• -water has strong skin (surface tension)
• -water stays cold (heat capacity)
• -water sticks to water (cohesion)
• -water absorbs 
• -water can both sink and float
• -water can change forms

it has 2 hydrogen atoms combined with 1 oxygen atom.  Linked together by a covalent bond which means they share electrons.

electrically unbalanced.  ex: water.  because hydrogens are partially + and oxygen are partially -

it allows bond to be created among water molecules.

melting. evaporating

condensing. freezing.

energy needed to switch from water to ice. (80 calories)

energy or heat needed to switch from water to vapor.

abilty of a substance to give up or take in heat and undergo temperature changes. 

the attachment of water molecules to each other by H bonds.

measure how difficult it is to stretch or break the surface of a liquid.

it's the pourability and how easily a liquid is poured.

water has low. pancake has high viscosity

the ability to squish an object to occupy a smaller volume.

how "heavy" something is.

the total quantitiy of dissolved salt in seawater. it measures the amount of salt in a liquid. 

• -earth's crust and earth's interior. 
• -volcanic eruption
• -river run off
• -hydrothermal vents
• -evaporites

negatively charged ions. CL- 

• positively charged ions. 
• Na+

electrical conductivity of sea water

NO. latitude, water cycle, river flows, wind patterns, season

evaporation and sea ice formation

percipitation, sea ice melting, freshwater run off

the ions stick to particles in the sea and become sediments

total dissolves solids. 

determine salinity

changing ice directly into vapors.
