Eduard Vikhnovskiy’s Part A
Chapter 6 starts off with an explanation of two distinct terms, temperature and heat, when one might think it is the same thing, however, it is not! Liquid water absorbs heat, while temperature can be measured in degrees of Celsius or Fahrenheit. Heat is produced by the random vibration of atoms or molecules. Water molecules in hot water vibrate faster than in cold water. Heat is a measured by the number of vibrating atoms and how fast they are vibrating. Temperature is measured in speed of vibrating molecules in the water. Temperature is the water’s response to an input or removal of heat. So to say, liquid water’s thermal characteristics keeps stable temperature in the atmosphere during the day and night, because ocean’ water stores heat during the day and releases during the night. The heat content of the water changes through the day but its temperature does not. Without this process, in case of the ocean absence on the Earth, the weather would be too cold during the night and too hot during the day. Similar factor is happening during the summer and the winter; ocean stores heat during the summer and releases during the winter, thereby, this cycle prevents substantial swings in the temperature. Also, water density, water temperature and salinity have significant importance in the ocean. Density of the seawater influences ocean’s structure and movement, and density is dependent on the temperature and salt content in the ocean’ water. All the water on Earth including freshwater, seawater, evaporated water, solid water are in constant motion, circulating between the ocean, the …show more content…
During the summer time, why does water in the lake feels warmer at night then during the day?
2. What is the effect of ice on beverage when we throw it in the water or soda?
3. How is the evaporation differ from saline water and freshwater?
4. Why do different substances freeze and evaporate at different temperatures (for example ammonia and
