The properties of water that support life are solvency, cohesion and adhesion, high surface tension, high heat capacity, high heat of vaporization, and varying density. ( Mader, p.24). Among these properties, the high heat capacity is known for being important to aquatic organisms. ( Mader, p.26).
Waters ability to hydrogen bond is also critical. When it freezes, water gets lighter and floats unlike the vast majority of other liquids. If it did not have this property, the ice would sink and gradually all the oceans and water sources would freeze over and not be able to sustain aquatic life.

What is an organism that can live under water?
An organism that can live underwater is a fish. Fish are aquatic animals that breathe through gills, allowing them to extract oxygen from water. They are adapted to various aquatic environments, from freshwater lakes to the depths of the ocean. Other examples of underwater organisms include amphibians, aquatic mammals, and various invertebrates like jellyfish and crabs.
What few plants produce seeds that germinate successfully underwater?
Some examples of plants that produce seeds capable of germinating underwater include water lilies, water chestnuts, and water milfoils. These plants have adapted to survive and reproduce in aquatic environments through specialized structures that protect the seeds and enable successful germination underwater.
How does a camera work underwater?
A camera that works underwater typically has special housing that allows it to function in the water. These housings are usually made from aluminum or plastic and protect the camera from the water. The best waterproof camera is probably made from the brand Nikon.
What is the name of a crane that goes under water?
A crane designed to operate underwater is commonly referred to as an "underwater crane" or "submersible crane." These cranes are specialized for tasks like underwater construction, salvage operations, and deep-sea exploration. They are engineered to withstand water pressure and often feature a sealed structure to protect mechanical components from water damage.
How does the exoskeleton protect the lobster?
They are arthropods and invertebrates; having no internal skeleton, they require an exoskeleton. They are basically underwater cockroaches (actually, they share more similarities with scorpions).
Can underwater cameras work underwater and out of water?
Yes.
What is the root word for underwater?
The root word for "underwater" is "under."
Where do you underwater weld?
Im pretty sure you "Underwater" weld, UNDER...WATER!!!!
Do you have to go Underwater or stay above water to find Relicanth in Ruby?
underwater.
How does under water photograpy work?
Underwater photography can be done with most regular camers with a underwater plastic body around the camera or with specific water resistant underwater cameras.
Is there a waterproof housing available for the Nikon D5100 camera?
Yes, there are waterproof housings available for the Nikon D5100 camera that can protect it from water damage while allowing you to use it underwater.
Can hurricanes and earthquakes happen underwater?
Hurricanes do not form underwater, as they require warm ocean water. Earthquakes can certainly occur underwater, known as underwater earthquakes, and can trigger tsunamis due to the displacement of water.
