The Water Molecule
a. Sketch in detail how the molecular structure of H2O
determines the unique properties of water in terms of Latent Heat,
Heat Capacity, Solvent Power, and Surface Tension. b. Give three
detailed examples of ways that these properties of the water
molecule determine the chemical and physical behavior of the ocean
(think in terms of Salinity, Temperature Profiles, Water Density,
Ocean Layering, Ocean pH, Oceanic vs Continental Climate, etc.)
