Water and the Fitness of the Environment
Expansion upon freezing
Liquid water
water packs closely together
water has 4 or less hydrogen bonds to other water
hydrogen bonds are made and broke
Solid water
each water molecules has 4 hydrogen bonds
increased organized structure with space between molecules of water
less dense than liquid water
Cohesion and adhesion
Cohesion
binding of like molecules to each other
Adhesion
clinging of one substance to a different substance
Moderation of temperature
High specific heat
Evaporative cooling
Water can absorb and release heat with only a slight change in temperature
