Ocean water plays an indispensable role in supporting life. The great ocean basins hold about 300 million cubic
miles of water. From this vast amount, about 80,000 cubic miles of water are sucked into the atmosphere each year
by evaporation and returned by precipitation and drainage to the ocean. More than 24,000 cubic miles of rain
descend annually upon the continents. This vast amount is required to replenish the lakes and streams, springs and
water tables on which all flora and fauna are dependent. Thus, the hydrosphere permits organic existence. The
hydrosphere has strange characteristics because water has properties unlike those of any other liquid. One anomaly
is that water upon freezing expands by about 9 percent, whereas most liquids contract on cooling. For this reason,
ice floats on water bodies instead of sinking to the bottom. If the ice sank, the hydrosphere would soon be frozen
solidly, except for a thin layer of surface melt water during the summer season. Thus, all aquatic life would be
destroyed and the interchange of warm and cold currents, which moderates climate, would be notably absent.
Another outstanding characteristic of water is that water has a heat capacity which is the highest of all liquids and solids

A. juxtaposition of true and untrue ideas B. hypothesis and proof
C. general statements followed by examples D. comparison and contrast
Question 70: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a characteristic of water?
A. Water contracts on cooling. B. Water can absorb heat.
C. Water is a good solvent. D. Water expands when it is frozen.
