How can a water strider effectively walk on water?
A water strider can effectively walk on water due to its long, thin legs and the surface tension of the water. The water strider's legs are covered in tiny hairs that help distribute its weight and prevent it from breaking the water's surface tension. This allows the water strider to stay on top of the water and move quickly across its surface.
Why can a water strider walk on water?
A water strider can walk on water because of its small size and the surface tension of water. The water strider's long, thin legs distribute its weight evenly, allowing it to stay on the surface without breaking through.
What type of bonds are responsible for the surface tension on a pond that allows the water strider to walk on water?
well, technically they are hydrogen bonds b/c water is made up of H-bonds. The strong H bond forces on the inside of a pond are pulling the molecules on top downward w/o anything to pull it upwards creating a tension on the top of the water. This is also why it hurts so much when you land in a pool on your stomach
What keeps water on a penny?
Surface tension keeps water on a penny even when it goes over the surface of the penny and you think it would spill over the edge due to gravity. I believe surface density is accomplished due to the fact that the hydrogen bonds, for that scale, is stronger than the force of gravity. For more information look at the Related Links below.
Can you tell me about a bug that can walk on water?
One example of a bug that can walk on water is the water strider. Water striders have long, thin legs that help them distribute their weight and create surface tension on the water, allowing them to glide and walk on the surface without sinking.
7 Can the water strider remain afloat in a high concentration of soap solution?
No. It cannot remain afloat in a high concentration of soap solution. The water strider relies on a property of water called surface tension. This is what keeps the creature above the water. In a soap solution, there is reduced surface tension and the strider would drown
What keeps a water strider on the surface of water.?
One force I am positive about is surface tension- I can't explain too well because I am barely learning about this. I hope this answer helps you! =)

Why dont water striders sink?
Surface tension The top molecule on the water forms a skin that will support dust small creatures and even metal objects like needles when they are place on the surface carefully. Surface tension keeps the water strider afloat, and the water strider long legs only pierce the top skin of the water. A lso, the water strider mass is very little which results in them floating.
What effects result from surface tension of water?
A water strider can walk across the surface of a small pond.
What animal lives on top of the water that is a scavenger?
A creature of the water's surface is the water strider. It uses the surface tension of the water and its long legs to actually walk on the surface.
Is a water strider a hebivore omnivore or a carnivore?
A water strider is a carnivore, feeding mainly on insects that land on the water's surface. They use their legs to detect and capture their prey.
Is a water strider a reptile?
No. A water strider is an insect.
What is the scientific name for the water strider?
The scientific name of water strider is Gerris Remigis

What color is the water strider?
The water strider is usually dark coloured.
