Because water has such a high "specific heat" ... it takes so much heat energy to raise the temperature of a pot or a glass of water by only 1 degree. There's only one other substance on Earth that stores more heat than water does for such a small change in temperature. (Liquid ammonia ... 12% more than water.)
That's one reason why, for example, we use water ice to cool our drinks ... it takes SO MUCH heat out of the drink just to melt the ice cube and then to warm up the melted freezing water that comes from it.
That's also why cities near the ocean or a big lake have cooler summers and warmer winters. In the Summer, the water nearby takes lot of heat away from the city and stores it, without getting full of heat. In the Winter, the warm water nearby pours out heat to keep the city warm, without running out of the heat that it holds.
Answer:
Lowest concentration: small fishes
highest concentration: Osprey
Process: Biomagnification
Explanation:
With respect to given food chain, DDT concentration will be lowest in the primary consumers, that is, in small fishes. The top consumers, that is, osprey would exhibit highest DDT concentration. The image shows biomaginification of slow metabolizing DDT and its accumulation in the tissues of the living beings. Since biomagnification leads to maximum accumulation of chemical in the tissues of top consumers, osprey bird would be most severely affected.
Allotropy
Explanation:
Allotropy is existence of a chemical element in two or more different states. When an element exists in more than one physical state, they are said to be allotropes.
Many different substances exhibits allotropy and it largely impacts their physical state.
Carbon has two main allotropes; graphite and diamond. Graphite is a soft substance and can easily be broken. Diamond is the hardest natural substance that is known.
- A sulfur with a glassy luster and another with a dull earthy luster signifies two sulfur allotropes.
