THE PROPERTIES OF WATER CHEMICAL STRUCTURE SALINITY DENSITY HEAT CAPACITY OCEAN MOTION Skim and find out the topic sentences Task One Topic Sentence of HEAT CAPACITY: Paragraph: ________ Sentence: Topic Sentence of DENSITY: Paragraph: ________ Sentence: 4 ? The density of pure water is 1,000 kg/m3, meaning that one cubic metre of water weighs one thousand kilogrammes. 5 ? Heat capacity is the mount of energy it takes to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree centigrade. Topic Sentence of OCEAN MOTION: Paragraph: ________ Sentence: 6 ? Since changes in salinity and temperature affect waters density, the water in the ocean is always moving. Topic Sentence of the text: Paragraph: ________ Sentence: Topic Sentence of SALINITY: Paragraph: ______ Sentence: Topic Sentence of CHEMICAL STRUCTURE: Paragraph: ________ Sentence: 7 3 2 Learning about the properties of water helps us understand life on our planet. The chemical structure of water makes it an excellent medium for life. The salinity of the earths oceans is about thirty-five parts per thousand, meaning that there are about thirty-five grammes of dissolved solids and gases in one kilogramme of water. Scan and find out the main idea. Task Two Para 1: Para 2: Para 3: Para 4: Para 5: Para 6: The properties of water make the ocean a great place to live in. The chemical structure of water makes it an excellent medium for life. The salinity of sea water effects both its weight and freezing point. Marine animals and plants take advantage of the density of sea water. The heat capacity of water keeps the temperature of the ocean steady , making it a safe and comfortable habitat. Para 6: Ocean motion adds energy to the marine ecosystems and moves nutrients
