The ability of some organisms to be able to walk on water is due to which property of water NAME the property?
The property of water allowing some insects and other animals to walk on its surface is called "surface tension".
When water evaporates it cools the surface left behind what is this called?
It is called vaporization, and it happens because the water vapor is taking away some of the heat in the form of energy, and so the surface has less heat energy.
Why do water spiders float?
there is a thing called surface tension. Surface tention is the uneven forces acting on the particles on a surface of a liquid and this causes the water to act like a sort of thin film and therefor the spider can float.
Which property of water allows insects to walk on water?
Certain insects (ones with a very light weight) are able to walk on water as their weight does not break the surface tension of the water. Water has a very high surface tension, therefore easily breaking and not supporting weight above a certain limit.
Some insects can stand on the surface of water because water?
Some insects can stand on the surface of water because water is usually adhesive and cohesive. This is made possible by the molecules in the water.

A straight pin floats on water?
Normally no. But if you carefully set the pin on some still water, yes it can 'float' on the water due to what's called surface tension. This is also what causes a small amount of water on a smooth surface to 'bead'. It's also what keeps water beetles on top of the water in ponds.
What is a depression in the surface land called?
A basin is a depression in the earth's surface that can be dry or filled with water.
