Cohesion known as water attraction to other water molecules is one of the major properties of water. liquid water has surface tension. this allows for insects such as water striders to walk on water. question number 3 the answer is because ice is less dense then liquid water because the water molecules for a new large structure as they cool down. of course Lakes freeze a course from top down even though the coldest areas are at the bottom. cold water begins to rises when it begins to freeze it accumulates at the top with a sheet of ice. the ice provides some insulation for the water below so that there is typically a significant portion of water under the ice sheet unless it's extraordinary really cold for a very very very very long time. if a lake froze from the bottom up they would more than likely freeze completely

Which statements about wind are true? Check all that apply.
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

  • The wind is caused by differences in air pressure.
  • An anemometer is a tool for measuring wind speed.
  • The wind-chill factor has a cooling effect

Explanation:

Winds move from areas of high pressure to areas  of low pressure. This is because the areas of low pressure are composed of hotter and less dense air. The cooler air from the higher pressure region rushes in to displaces the rising warm less dense air. The direction from which the winds prevail FROM is used to name the winds(such as westerlies blow from West to East). A wind vane, windsock and anemometer measure the direction and speed of wind. As wind passes over the skin, it causes a cooling effect (the wind chill factor) because it blows the sweat away from the skin carrying with it the heat.

The intensification and tenacity power is inadequate, because viewing light is used which has the minimum wavelength if about 40 nano-meters. And also the lenses of these microscopes tend to be blurry over time if not appropriately maintained.
