The most important source of sediment is earth and rock material carried to the sea by rivers
and streams; the same materials may also have been transported by glaciers and winds. Other
sources are volcanic ash and lava, shells and skeletons of organisms, chemical precipitates formed in
seawater, and particles from outer space.
Water is a most unusual substance because it exists on the surface of the earth in its three
physical states: ice, water, and water vapor. There are other substances that might exist in a solid and
liquid or gaseous state at temperature normally found at the earth’s surface, but there are no other
substances which occur in all three states.
Water is odorless, tasteless, and colorless. It is the only substance known exist in a natural
state as solid, liquid, or gas on the surface of the earth. It is a universal solvent. Water does not
corrode, rust, burn, or separate into its components easily. It is chemically indestructible. It can
corrode almost any metal and erode the most solid rock. A unique property of water is that it expands
and floats on water when frozen or in the solid state. Water has a freezing point 0° deg. C. and a
boiling point of 100° deg. C. Water has the capacity for absorbing great quantities of heat with
relatively little increase in temperature. When distilled, water is a good conductor of electricity but
when salt is added, it is a poor conductor of electricity.
Sunlight is the source of energy for temperature change, evaporation, and currents for water
movement through the atmosphere. Sunlight controls the rate of photosynthesis for all marine plants,
Page 21 of 76
which are directly or indirectly the source of food for all marine animals. Migration, breeding, and other
behaviors of marine animals are affected buy light.
Water, as the ocean or sea, is blue because of the molecular scattering of the sunlight. Blue
light, being of short wavelength, is scattered more effectively than the light of longer wavelengths.
Variations in color may be caused by particles suspended in the water, water depth, cloud cover,
temperature, and other variable factors. Heavy concentrations of dissolved materials cause a
yellowish hue, while algae will cause the water to look green. Heavy populations of plant and animal
materials will cause the water to look brown.
192. Which of the following topics best organizes the information in the text?
A. Water as substance, water and plants
B. State of water as vapor, ice, solid
C. Properties of water, its physical states, effects of the sun on water
