2. Meet Gabe The Diver Hi. I’m a scuba diver named Gabe and I’m writing this journal to share my experiences of being in the ocean and what water is all about. Hi. I’m a scuba diver named Gabe and I’m writing this journal to share my experiences of being in the ocean and what water is all about.

3. About Water I I don’t plan on reaching the polar caps, but it is unique since it has a property called Polarity, which is when the oxygen side has a negative charge and the hydrogen side, creating Hydrogen Bonds. I don’t plan on reaching the polar caps, but it is unique since it has a property called Polarity, which is when the oxygen side has a negative charge and the hydrogen side, creating Hydrogen Bonds. Hydrogen Bonds often occur there and only there, which are formed easily and because the water there is polar. These bonds are weak and very little energy is required to break them.

4. About Water II This only happens outside of the ocean, but adhesion is when water sticks to other surfaces such as when there are droplets on a spider web or on a leaf.

Cohesion is when water sticks to water, which is how raindrops form and fall out of the sky. Cohesion is when water sticks to water, which is how raindrops form and fall out of the sky. Capillary Action is the tendency of a liquid to rise in narrow tubes or to be drawn into small openings such as those between grains of a rock and when dirt is still a little wet after any kind of precipitation has passed.

5. About Water III This water strider is not part of the ocean, but I just wanted to share that how it floats is because of surface tension, which is when liquids behave as if they were covered by a thin elastic layer. The Strider isn’t the only thing that can float on water. Some lizards have this kind of ability since they live in an aquatic environment.

Water is also known as a universal solvent since it can dissolve more things than any other liquid, but it can’t dissolve everything.

6. The Water Cycle The Water Cycle is the process that water goes through in order to circulate itself normally. The Water Cycle is the process that water goes through in order to circulate itself normally. First, water gets evaporated into the clouds to go through condensation, which is how it holds itself in them. Then, when the clouds get too heavy, the water falls back down to earth and does a runoff back to the ocean, soil, or lake.

7. About Water IV The density of water is 1, so if the diver is less dense, he or she will float or they can sink if more dense than water since their densities can vary. To find out how dense you are, divide your mass by your volume and you get your density. One way to raise it is to add weight to your body.

8. About Water V The specific heat of water is very high. That means that the water can absorb large amounts of heat before getting hot and it releases heat slowly when it starts to cool.

9. Responsibilities as a Diver Diving may be fun and all, but it has a lot of responsibilities to it: Diving may be fun and all, but it has a lot of responsibilities to it: - Be cautious of environmental conditions such as marine life, terrain, and currents. - Monitor breathing gas responsibly. - Do not dive past your limits. - You must be physically active to be able to safely dive. - Drink a lot of water before and after you dive. - Minimize the amount of exercise you’re doing during and after diving.

10. Fun Facts about Water 1. An adult’s body is made up of about 70% water. 2. The amount recommended per day of water is 8 cups and it can be in liquid form OR any food or drink that contains water. 3. The earth’s surface that is covered that is covered by water ranges between 70 and 75 percent. 4. There is more freshwater stored in aquifers under the ground than on the surface. 5. We use 346,000 gallons of water in the U.S. alone.
