Answer: Surface tension

Explanation:

Surface tension is the net downward force acting on the surface of liquids due to the cohesive nature of liquids.

Water molecules are bonded by strong hydrogen bonding between the hydrogen atom and the electronegative oxygen atom. Thus water molecules present on the surface are strongly attracted by the molecules present below the surface and thus act as a stretched membrane.  

The surface acquires a minimum surface are and thus acquire a spherical shape.

Heat capacity of water is high due to strong hydrogen bonding between water molecules.

Thus surface tension  of water results from the high cohesion between water molecules.

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Seaweed most commonly inhabit the littoral zone (nearshore waters) and, within that zone, on rocky shores more than on sand or shingle. Seaweed occupy various ecological niches. At the surface they are only wetted by the tops of sea spray, while some species may attach to a substrate several meters deep.

Imagine that you live in the midlatitudes—say, Virginia—and a cyclone passes by. What is the correct sequence of events?
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

First a warm front then a cold front.

Explanation:

Cyclone may be defined as the amount of the large air and move around the area that has low atmospheric pressure. The cyclone can cause the large disturbances to the living organisms.

The cyclone formation occurs at the low polar vertices. The two main types of front are related to the cyclone. The warm front first form for the air movement. This warm front is later replaced by the formation of the cold front of that cyclone.

Thus, the correct answer is option (3).
