the fact that ice floats on liquid water is due to the fact that ice (solid water)v is _____ than it's
liquid form correct answers less dense
what is the gaseous form of water called correct answers water vapor
the temperature at which a substance changes from a liquid to a solid (for water, this is 0 degrees
celsius, 32 deg farenheit) is called what correct answers freezing point
What's water's freezing point? correct answers 0 c
what property of water allows water to flow against gravity correct answers capillary action
*pic* the name for a molecule in which opposite ends have opposite electric charges correct
answers polar molecule
how is weather different from climate correct answers weather is current conditions of the
atmosphere. climate is the avg atmospheric conditions over a long period of time
even though the percentage of the atmosphere is composed of greenhouse gases is less that 1%,
scientists are interested in monitoring changes in concentration because
--- correct answers increased concentration of greenhouse gases will cause the global
temperature to increase
which of the following statements about greenhouse gases is true correct answers carbon dioxide
gas is a greenhouse gas because it has the ability to absorb and re-radiate photons back towards
Earth
if the avg snowfall increases, how will a glacier in the area be affected correct answers the
glacier will advance and become thicker
if the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmos increase, how will this affect global temp
correct answers global temp will increase
which of the following would cause the avg snowfall in an area to increase correct answers
increase in global temp
which type of feedback loop tends to hold a system to some equillibrium state making it more
stable correct answers negative feedback
as the concentration of greenhouse gasses increases, the temp increases, causing glaciers to melt.
Since there is blah blah blah correct answers this is an example of a positive feedback loop
feedback is an impact to a system component of an action or change in the component (t o f)
correct answers true
