Water must gain or lose energy (through heat or pressure) in order to change state. When an object is "heated" what is actually happening is the molecules in the sample are speeding up. When it is "cooled" the molecules are slowing down. The same thing happens when the pressure is changed: when you compress something energy is added, and when you expand energy is released. So for water to change state, you need to change the amount of energy in the sample by changing the amount of heat or pressure.

Which best explains the reastionship between soil characteristics and the movement of water?

Soil characteristics such as texture, structure, and porosity influence how water moves through soil. Soil with fine particles like clay tends to hold water tightly, while sandy soil allows water to pass through quickly. Soil structure affects water infiltration and retention, and porosity determines how much water can be stored in the soil.


where is the best place to place a rain gaugeexplain why?

Rain gauges should be placed on level ground in an open area where there are no buildings, trees, or other obstacles to block the rain. This is to prevent the water collected on the roofs of buildings or the leaves of trees from dripping into the rain gauge after a rain, resulting in inaccurate readings.

Which statement best explains why the fluorine atom is a good candidate for forming one bond to another atom?

Fluorine is a good candidate for forming one bond with another atom because it has seven valence electrons, requiring only one more electron to complete its octet. This makes it highly reactive and eager to form a single bond to achieve a stable electron configuration.


Which statement best explains how fern fossils could be found in present-day Arctic regions?

Fern fossils found in present-day Arctic regions suggest that the area was once much warmer and more conducive to fern growth, likely during a period of time when the Earth’s climate was different. This points to significant climate change in the region over geological time scales.
