Cohesion – The attraction of water molecules to each other and creates high surface tension in water. An example of how it helps support life on Earth is that it allows insects to walk across the surface.

Adhesion – The attraction of water molecules to other substances and allows water to travel against gravity. An example of this is water moving up a tree even when there is gravity.

Specific heat capacity – the heat required to raise the temperature of the unit mass of a given substance by a given amount. An example of this is a swimming pool staying the same temperature no matter if it is hot or cold outside.

Expansion upon freezing – Water expands when its frozen which will keep it from sinking. Floating ice keeps the water underneath it warm. An example of this is an iceberg floating on top of a body of water.

Universal solvent – Can dissolve almost anything, usually water. An example is that water transports important chemicals or nutrients/minerals that is needed for all living organisms.

I just learned about this lol...

Do sound waves travel best in dense or less dense areas?

velikii [3]

Thus, sound will travel at a slower rate in the denser object. If sound waves of the same energy were passed through a block of wood and a block of steel, which is more dense than the wood, the molecules of the steel would vibrate at a slower rate. Thus, sound passes more quickly through the wood, which is less dense.

11. The oxyfuel flame was used for fusion welding as early as the first half of the

Firlakuza [10]

The Oxyfuel gas or flame refers to a group of welding processes that use the flame produced by the combination of a fuel gas and oxygen as the source of heat.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Oxy-fuel welding is a process that utilizes fuel gases and oxygen to weld metals. Oxyfuel gas or flame refers to a group of welding processes that utilize the flame delivered by the blending of fuel gas and oxygen as the source of heat.

This flame is utilized for cutting and welding of two metallic pieces. This is done due to the heat produced by cutting and welding of two metallic pieces together by heating to the melting point.

An oxyhydrogen flame is utilized for cutting and welding of two metallic pieces due to the heat produced by the flame, i.e, 2800 ° C. At this temperature, the metal gets softened effectively and thus it can easily separate or welded together.
