Water Polarity

This photo was taken on January 15, 2017 at the river walk downtown, Wilmington. It is an example of water's unique properties that is essential to life on earth. Because of the cohesion and adhesion of water molecules, surface tension is formed. Surface tension provides a more solid surface of water making it possible for some aquatic invertebrates, like the Pond Skater, to "walk" on water.
