The cohesive forces among liquid molecules are responsible for the phenomenon of surface tension. In the bulk of the liquid, each molecule is pulled equally in every direction by neighboring liquid molecules, resulting in a net force of zero.

Particles of dust would not float on the water, and would sink to the bottom and kill all of the marine life, causing the collapse of ecosystems.

This means it takes more energy to heat up the water than it does the air around you. ]]> 2016-05-05 15:37:42 UTC https://padlet.com/536671/6io281k2qy3f/wish/109452506 57375 https://padlet.com/536671/6io281k2qy3f/wish/109532578 2016-05-05 22:28:06 UTC https://padlet.com/536671/6io281k2qy3f/wish/109532578
