Chemistry of Water
The chemical name of water is this.
What is dihydrogen monoxide?
The 5 large scale rotational movements of ocean waters are called this.
What is a gyre?
The water that lands on earth and flows back to the ocean is called this.
What is runoff?
This increases as you go deeper in the ocean. (8)
What is pressure?
it is never ok to do this- and it may take years before we realize the extent of this action on our oceans.
What is pollution?
The ratio of mass to a specific amount of volume is this property.
What is density?
Land deflections affect this type of current more than the other.
What is a surface current?
When precipitation falls into the ocean, it falls on this zone.
Due to this, salinity is lower at the equator than at the tropics. (13)
What is precipitation?
A scientist that studies the salty water and its movements is called this.
What is an oceanographer?
Water is the universal this for other molecules that are also classified like it.
What is solvent?
The factor that affects both surface and deep currents by causing them to be clockwise or counterclockwise is this.
What is the Coriolis effect?
When the water molecules get excited, the state of matter changes from liquid to gas during this process.
What is evaporation?
A molecule that has an opposite electrical charge on each end is called this. (5)
What is polar?
Technology that uses sound waves to determine what is below the surface of the water is called this.
What is sonar?
Water molecules like to stick to each other which is this property.
What is cohesion?
The sun's uneven heating of the earth's surface results in this.
What are global winds?
If more water evaporates than precipitates, this will increase in the ocean.
What is salinity?
The ease or difficulty of rock's ability to let water move through itself is called this property. (12)
What is permeability?
When the runoff collects faster than can be absorbed by the land or held by rivers, this might result which negatively affects homes!
What is flooding?
Water's this is quite high because first the hydrogen bonds need to break before the kinetic energy can be applied to changing the state of matter.
What is specific heat?
If you flow down a fresh river until it meets the salty ocean, you would land up in this special habitat.
What is an estuary?
If the water cyce doesn't replensih the groundwater, these will dry up and disappear.
What are aquifers?
Once the water infiltrates the surface, it can go deeper due to this process. (11)
What is percolation?
Humans are adding these, such as water vapor and carbon dioxide, to the atmosphere which is contributing to global warming.
What are greenhouse gases?
