Water Properties:
Fundamental to life
Universal Solvent
Polarity gives unique properties
Cohesion
Adhesion
Convection cells
Hadley Cells: by equator (most important)
Responsible for tropical rainforests
As cells dry out, they lose their moisture
Sink when they lose moisture
When cells get forced up mountain, they lose their rain at the top
Creates Rain Shadows: deserts on leeward side of mountains
Aquifers
confined
Impermeable: Sealed by rock and clay
Unconfined
Permeable above and confined below
Replaced with water from above
Infiltration ratio
