What makes Glacial melt water appear milky?

Glacial melt water can appear milky due to the presence of finely ground rock particles and sediment called glacial flour. When glaciers move, they grind against rocks and create this fine sediment, which is suspended in the meltwater. The suspended particles scatter light, giving the water a milky appearance.


Why does a straw appear to be bent in water?

When light passes from one medium to another (e.g. air to water), it changes speed and direction, causing refraction. This refraction makes the straw appear bent at the surface of the water even though it is actually straight.
