Name the properties of water responsible for:

i) maintaining ice caps at polar regions.

ii) floatation of solid ice on liquid water surface.

iii) movement of water through plants and trees. What are the effects of water logging and salinisation on plants.

The properties of water responsible for various phenomena are as follows:

i) Maintaining ice caps at polar regions:

• High Heat Capacity: Water has a high heat capacity, meaning it can absorb and store a large amount of heat energy without significantly increasing in temperature. This property allows water to absorb heat from the surrounding environment and prevents polar ice caps from melting too quickly.

• Latent Heat of Fusion: Water has a high latent heat of fusion, which means it requires a significant amount of energy to change from a solid (ice) to a liquid (water) at its ____ _____ ___ __________ _____.
