Water evaporate faster in a wide glass than in a narrower glass.


Why does water bead up on a waxed car but gasoline does not?

Most waxes are petroleum based, just like gasoline. Therefore, they have similar properties and mix, whereas water has significantly different properties, causing it to 'bead up' and form droplets on the surface.


What is the difference between cohesion adhesion and surface tension?

well Cohesion- water molecules are attracted to other water molecules. The oxygen end of water has a negative charge and the hydrogen end has a positive charge. The hydrogens of one water molecule are attracted to the oxygen form other water molecules.This attractive force is what gives water its cohesice properties. And Surface tension- Surface tension is the name we give to the cohesion of water molecules at the furface of a body of water. The cohesion of water molecules forms a surface "film" or "skin ." Some substances may reduce the cohesive force of water, which will reduce the strength of the surface "skin of the water


What is the curved surface of water in a burette called?

The curved surface of water in a burette is called the meniscus. It is caused by the surface tension of the water interacting with the walls of the burette.


Does clean water evaporate faster then dirty water?

yes it does. The evaporation rate of water is dependent on the number of molecules that can be presented to the evaporating surface. Anything in the water besides water will decrease this density and slow the process of evaporation.

Why do fish appear on the surface of the water before a storm?

Before a storm, there is very little dissolved oxygen in the water, so fish rise to the surface for oxygen,which is more plentiful near the surface.


Does a storm surge bring cooler and drier air?

How do storm surges relate to cyclones?

Cyclones, particularly hurricanes and typhoons, create a bulge on the surface of water with their winds. This storm surge can cause heavy coastal flooding if the storm makes landfall.


How would an increase in storm runoff to rivers most likely affect ground water?

An increase in storm runoff to rivers most likely would affect ground water by reducing the amount of infiltration and groundwater recharge. This is where water moves downward from surface water to ground water.


Is surface tension and water tension the same?

yes

What forces of nature create a storm surge?

Storm surges are created by high winds pushing at the surface of the ocean. This happens offshore and causes water to rise higher then ordinary sea level.
