Water Allowing Organisms Nutrients Heat Animals Properties Unique

Text Waters properties have five unique benefits:
1) ice floats, allowing liquid water underneath for aquatic organisms
2) dissolve nutrients easily, allowing organisms to obtain nutrients
3) high heat capacity, resist sudden heat changes so animals may maintain homeostasis
4) capillary action, plants use this to act water in the soil
5) surface tension, allows animals and leaves to float on water
