Two-thirds of the Earth's surface is the water, whose mass is 1,5*1021 kg. The water makes the cycle in nature. On the surface of oceans and seas the water evaporates rapidly, forming clouds. From the clouds, it is poured over the Earth, it seeps through the soil, forming a considerable size of the underground reservoirs of fresh water. And of them originate the river...

The diamond

The diamond is a crystalline substance with interesting optical properties. The diamond is extremely hard and is used for final polishing of most materials. The refractive index is very high – 2,4. The reflectivity of any transparent body is associated with the refractive index. The reflectivity of the glass, for example, is 4%. Diamond has a very high reflectivity – 18%...

The atmospheric pressure

The atmospheric pressure can be estimated if a glass bottle filled with water. Pinch the hole with your fingers and dip the neck of the bottle into the water. Then open the neck of the bottle by taking away his fingers. The atmospheric pressure will support a column of water in the bottle. It drives the water in a bottle...

The density of the water

The density of the water varies depending on the temperature change. Do a simple experiment to prove it. Take the empty eggshells from which very carefully through a small hole produced all the contents. Close up the hole with a wax. Attach to the wax on the wire or thread a small sinker...
