When a leaf is held below hot water, the heat can cause the stomata (tiny openings on the leaf surface) to open, leading to increased transpiration. As water vapor escapes, you may observe condensation forming on the surface of the leaf, especially if the surrounding air is cooler. Additionally, the heat may cause any waxy or hydrophobic layers on the leaf to become more pronounced, affecting how water interacts with the leaf surface.

Some water will be held in depressions in the soil surface is called what?

The water held in depressions on the soil surface is called ponding. Ponding occurs when water collects in low-lying areas due to factors such as heavy rainfall or poor drainage. It can lead to waterlogging and subsequent issues for plant growth.


Why does a small water droplet in the air remain spherical?

It is held in a spherical shape by the surface tension of the water/air boundary which forces the droplet to assume the smallest surface area possible (which is a sphere).


What are water droplets held together by?

The surface tension of the water holds it together. Water has an almost magnetic property in that it sticks to itself. The raindrops physically cannot be too bog because air resistance would rip it apart, but it has great enough surface tension to avoid being reduced to individual molecules.


You can hold a water droplet between two fingertips held slightly apart This is an example of what property of water?

Surface tension, which is the cohesive force that allows water molecules to stick together, creating a "skin" on the surface that can support the weight of the water droplet.


What is a water molecule being held by?

A water molecule is held together by covalent bonds between its two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Additionally, water molecules can form hydrogen bonds with other water molecules, which contribute to the unique properties of water such as high surface tension and ability to dissolve substances.

What is the difference between water lily and lotus?

Water lilies have round, flat leaves that float on the water's surface, while lotus plants have leaves that are more upright and held above the water. Additionally, water lilies bloom with flowers that float on the water, while lotus flowers are held above the water on tall stalks.


Why does a pond skater insect not sink?

A pond skater insect is held up by surface tension.Water molecules have an attraction for each other. At the surface of the liquid there is no water in one direction (up, naturally) so the molecules at the surface are pulled with a net force downwards. This creates a surface layer which has a high viscous property (know as surface tension). To penetrate this layer requires a measurable force. Since the weight of a pond skater does not exceed this force it is held up by the surface of the water.
