What property of the structure of water allows water spiders to walk across the surface of a pond?

it is when water molecules in the water form a 'wall'.Pond skaters have legs that spread out away from their bodies, lowering the pressure exerted by their weight and not breaking the surface tension of the water

What do water spiders look like?
There are no actual species of spider called wood spiders, but people call brown spiders that live in wood piles, "wood spiders."
How many legs do a spider have?
8 eight is the amount a cnidarian have also spiders
What kind of symmetry do wolf spiders have?
All species of spiders are arthropods, and arthropods have bilateral symmetry. This means they have symmetry across one plane (known as the sagittal plane, and directly down the centre of their body), which means one side of their body approximately mirrors the other side.
How tall is the worlds largest spider?
Spiders come in various shapes and sizes. The tallest spider is the Darwin's back. It can create webs that stretch 80 feet across rivers.
What types of Spiders are in Virginia?
The Black Widow and Brown Recluse are the only dangerous spiders in Virginia.Spiders are annoying especially when you sleep in a basement! I can not say that I have seen a Black Widow in Virginia though.Golden garden spiders have a rather flat head and a thorax region covered with whitish hair. They are black with yellow markings.Large orb weavers are found about houses in the fall. Their legs are usually shorter and their bodies not as big as the golden garden spider.Wolf spiders are usually large, hairy spiders that are not associated with webs. They look much worse than they are.Jumping spiders do just that-jump! They are small, usually black with red or white markings, and are often found in windows. They rarely bite.House spiders have "dirty" white and gray markings on their abdomen. They build complicated webs in corners, under tables, chairs, etc.Sheet web spiders have a pair of dark bands across their yellowish head-thorax and abdomen region. They are common on shrubs and weeds around the house.
What property of water makes it possible for some insects he skate across the surface of a river or lake?
surface tension
Which mineral property is identified by the color of the powder left behind when it is rubbed across a surface?
streak
What property of water allows water spider to walk across the surface of a pond?
In physics, surface tension is a force present within the surface layer of a liquid that causes the layer to behave as an elastic sheet. It is the force that supports insects that walk on water, for example.
Why is it easier to pull a box across a surface with an upward angle then push a box across a surface with a downward angle?
Push a box across a surface with a downward angle because gravity is helping.
Is there a type of spider that can live in water?
They walk on the water lightly so that they do not break the surface tension of the water.
Why can you pour a glass of water to the rim of the glass?
it's called "surface tension". It is the property of the surface of a liquid which causes it to behave like an elastic sheet. This is why a "water strider" insect can skate across the surface of a pond without sinking into the water. It is also what causes a drop of water - the surface tension of the water pulls it into a ball.
What is the tightness across the surface of water is called?
"surface tension"
What is a structure built across the water to hold water back?
A dam is a structure built across the water to hold water back.
Where is the chicken?
In the barnyard,in the chicken coop, on the fence across the road and in the haystack looking for spiders.
What kind of eyes do arachnids have?
I've seen spiders with a row of eyes across their foreheads.
Can spiders be as wide as a trampoline?
No the world's biggest spider is still only a foot across
Explain how changes in the alveolar structure cause a decrease in the blood oxygen levels in emphysema?
Decrease in alveolar surface area results in less boundary across which oxygen can be absorbed into the blood.
