Answer to Question 1

ANS: T
Despite the high heat capacity of solid ice, it is still approximately half of that of liquid water. The
melting and freezing of water releases and uses heat energy. This cyclical pattern in the poles is an
effective means of moderating temperatures on Earth. Information can be found in the section Surface
Water Moderates Global Temperature.



Answer to Question 2

ANS: T
Water is a polar molecule. Water's geometric formation causes the atoms of hydrogen to have a
partially positive charge and the oxygen to be partially negative. This allows the molecules to be
attracted to other polar molecules. If a substance is held together by the attraction of opposite forces,
water is able to pull it apart. Information can be found in the section The Water Molecule Is Held
Together by Chemical Bonds

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
