The circumpolar current merges the waters of the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans and carries up to 150 times the volume of water flowing in all of the world's rivers.

Sodium is a " water-holding " ion, so water is also retained, which leads to increased blood volume, hence an increase in blood pressure.

The Baltic Sea's salinity is much lower than that of ocean water ( which averages 35 ‰), as a result of abundant freshwater runoff from the surrounding land, combined with the shallowness of the sea itself ; indeed, runoff contributes roughly one-fortieth its total volume per year, as the volume of the basin is about 21, 000 km³ and yearly runoff is about 500 km³.

If the boat floats, the mass of the boat ( plus contents ) as a whole divided by the volume below the waterline is equal to the density of water ( 1 kg / l ).

Plasma, which constitutes 55 % of blood fluid, is mostly water ( 92 % by volume ), and contains dissipated proteins, glucose, mineral ions, hormones, carbon dioxide ( plasma being the main medium for excretory product transportation ), and blood cells themselves.

Eisbock is a traditional specialty beer of the Kulmbach district of Germany that is made by partially freezing a doppelbock and removing the water ice to concentrate the flavour and alcohol content, which ranges from 9 % to 13 % by volume.

An element of water volume on the surface is shown to be subject to three forces: the vertical force due to gravity F < sub > g </ sub >, the horizontal, radially outward centrifugal force F < sub > Cfgl </ sub >, and the force normal to the surface of the water F < sub > n </ sub > due to the rest of the water surrounding the selected element of surface.

They thrive best in water temperatures of, and require an aquarium volume of at least.

The cytosol is a complex mixture of cytoskeleton filaments, dissolved molecules, and water that fills much of the volume of a cell.

Cytosol makes up about 70 % of the cell volume and is composed of water, salts and organic molecules.

The Chari River contributes 95 percent of Lake Chad's water, an average annual volume of 40 billion cubic meters, 95 % of which is lost to evaporation.

In September or in October, the flow of the Mekong River, fed by monsoon rains, increases to a point where its outlets through the delta cannot handle the enormous volume of water.

After the Mekong's waters crest — when its downstream channels can handle the volume of water — the flow reverses, and water flows out of the engorged lake.

The volume of water the Casiquiare captures from the Orinoco is small in comparison to what it accumulates in its course.

This named outflow is the Casiquiare canal, which, as it heads downstream ( southerly ), picks up speed and also accumulates water volume.

Most of the cytosol is water, which makes up about 70 % of the total volume of a typical cell.

For a given material, it can have a positive or negative sign or exceptionally it can be zero, and this can depend on the temperature, as it does for water about 4 C. The concept of latent heat with respect to volume was perhaps first recognized by Joseph Black in 1762.

As early as 1805, Gay-Lussac and von Humboldt showed that water is formed of two volumes of hydrogen and one volume of oxygen, and by 1811 Amedeo Avogadro had arrived at the correct interpretation of water's composition, based on what is now called Avogadro's law and the assumption of diatomic elemental molecules.

The number of effects is proportional to the kW · h / m < sup > 3 </ sup > of water recovered figure, and refers to the volume of water recovered per unit of energy compared with single-effect distillation.

Baffled, Archimedes took a relaxing immersion bath and observed from the rise of the water upon entering that he could calculate the volume of the gold wreath through the displacement of the water.

from downstream, where the water level is much lower, it is a high, elaborately facaded pavilion.

An extended cold spell caused ice to build up on the aerator which was mounted on a floating platform and caused the entire platform to sink lower in the water.

“ Clean ” or unpolluted rain has an acidic pH, but usually no lower than 5. 7, because carbon dioxide and water in the air react together to form carbonic acid, a weak acid.

This chart shows that not all fish, shellfish, or the insects that they eat can tolerate the same amount of acid ; for example, frogs can tolerate water that is more acidic ( i. e., has a lower pH ) than trout.

Both the lower pH and higher aluminium concentrations in surface water that occur as a result of acid rain can cause damage to fish and other aquatic animals.

On the other hand, were surface regions with lower energy available, the water occupying surface locations of higher potential energy would move to occupy these positions of lower energy, inasmuch as there is no barrier to lateral movement in an ideal liquid.

At some small angular rate of rotation, however, an element of surface water can achieve lower potential energy by moving outward under the influence of the centrifugal force.

When the working liquid is water and the bain-marie is used at sea level, the maximum temperature of the material in the lower container will not exceed 100 degrees Celsius ( 212 F ), the boiling point of water at sea level.

A lower water to concrete ratio will yield a stronger, more durable concrete ; while more water will give a freer-flowing concrete with a higher slump.

Because fly ash addition allows a lower concrete water content, early strength can also be maintained.

The dry soil leads to lower water intake for the trees to extract.

By 1975, the upper water layer was saltier than the lower layer.

It consists of an upper vessel containing the substance to be cooked that is situated above a lower pot of water.

Therefore, as long as the lower pot does not become pressurized or boiled dry, the maximum temperature contacted by the upper vessel will be the boiling point of water, and scalding or uneven heat is avoided.

; Psychrophile / Cryophile: An organism capable of survival, growth or reproduction at temperatures of-15 ° C or lower for extended periods ; common in cold soils, permafrost, polar ice, cold ocean water, and in or under alpine snowpack

The higher the water content of a soil, the lower the oxygen content and consequently, the lower the rate of decomposition.

Marine and salty environments also lower the lifetime of galvanized iron because the high electrical conductivity of sea water increases the rate of corrosion.

This lends some truth to the urban myth that water purity in outdoor water faucets is lower, but the actual impurities ( iron, zinc, calcium ) are harmless.

Helium is the least water soluble monatomic gas, and one of the least water soluble of any gas ( CF < sub > 4 </ sub >, SF < sub > 6 </ sub >, and C < sub > 4 </ sub > F < sub > 8 </ sub > have lower mole fraction solubilities: 0. 3802, 0. 4394, and 0. 2372 x < sub > 2 </ sub >/ 10 < sup >− 5 </ sup >, respectively, versus helium's 0. 70797 x < sub > 2 </ sub >/ 10 < sup >− 5 </ sup >), and helium's index of refraction is closer to unity than that of any other gas.

The water in Thor's big swimming pool had been covered with a blanket of thick, foamy soapsuds -- fashioned, of course, from zing -- Joyce had dived from the board into the pool, then swirled and cavorted in her luxurious `` bath '' while cameras rolled.

Of course it was water he really craved ; ;

Of course, when your 6-inch torrent of water is released, it may cause a lot of comment as it passes through or by neighboring properties.

Of course, you'll want to use the softest water you can in your radiators.

The best chance, of course, is offered by gently sloping terrain where the water remains close to the surface and where the air is dry, so that a high evaporation leaves salty deposits which permit only sparse plant growth.

The Band then plays at various other locations around Morningside Heights, including the residential quadrangle of Barnard College, where students of the all-women's school, in mock-consternation, rain trash – including notes and course packets – and water balloons upon them from their dormitories above.

This person makes the IC initial assessment of the scene and determines the appropriate course of action for team members ; assumes role of Safety Officer until assigned to another team member ; assigns team member roles if not already assigned ; designates triage area, treatment area, morgue, and vehicle traffic routes ; coordinates and directs team operations ; determines logistical needs ( water, food, medical supplies, transportation, equipment, and so on.

Over the course of six to nine million years, as the Challenger Deep grew to its present depth, many of the species present in the sediment died out or were unable to adapt to the increasing water pressure and changing environment.

Private libraries appeared during the late republic: Seneca inveighed against libraries fitted out for show by illiterate owners who scarcely read their titles in the course of a lifetime, but displayed the scrolls in bookcases ( armaria ) of citrus wood inlaid with ivory that ran right to the ceiling: " by now, like bathrooms and hot water, a library is got up as standard equipment for a fine house ( domus ).

He had been a descendant of the Israelite tribe of Issachar ; he had been educated by his grandfathers, who had both been physicians to the court of Good King René of Provence ; he had attended Montpellier University in 1525 to gain his first degree: after returning there in 1529 he had successfully taken his medical doctorate ; he had gone on to lecture in the Medical Faculty there until his views became too unpopular ; he had supported the heliocentric view of the universe ; he had travelled to the north-east of France, where he had composed prophecies at the abbey of Orval ; in the course of his travels he had performed a variety of prodigies, including identifying a future Pope ; he had successfully cured the Plague at Aix-en-Provence and elsewhere ; he had engaged in scrying using either a magic mirror or a bowl of water ; he had been joined by his secretary Chavigny at Easter 1554 ; having published the first installment of his Propheties, he had been summoned by Queen Catherine de ' Medici to Paris in 1556 to discuss with her his prophecy at quatrain I. 35 that her husband King Henri II would be killed in a duel ; he had examined the royal children at Blois ; he had bequeathed to his son a ' lost book ' of his own prophetic paintings ; he had been buried standing up ; and he had been found, when dug up at the French Revolution, to be wearing a medallion bearing the exact date of his disinterment.

On the upper course, sudden floods may raise the water level by as much as five meters in twenty-four hours ; west of Encarnación, however, the rocks of the riverbed sometimes come within one meter of the surface during winter and effectively sever communication between the upper river and Buenos Aires.

" His theory was that an underground water course may flow under " haunted " locations and that after heavy rainfall the stream could cause structural movement of the property, possibly causing the house to vibrate and move objects.

Fueled by this support, the government of Louis St. Laurent decided over the course of 1951 and 1952 to construct the waterway alone, combined with the Moses-Saunders Power Dam ( which would prove to be the joint responsibility of Ontario and New York: as a power dam would change the water levels, it required bilateral cooperation ).

Actual course over the water will be worse due to leeway.

Reportedly, in extreme cases, they do not drink any water over the course of their lives.

The Vakhsh, called the Kyzyl-Suu (" red water " in Turkic languages ) upstream in Kyrgyzstan and the Surkhob in its middle course in north-central Tajikistan, is the second largest river in southern Tajikistan after the Amu-Panj system.

In tournament slalom skiing, a course is set up with buoys and water skiers navigate through and around six buoys using only one ski.

Water ski racing consists of a number of water skiers who race around a set course.

The main purposes of an artificial levee are to prevent flooding of the adjoining countryside and to slow natural course changes in a waterway to provide reliable shipping lanes for maritime commerce over time ; they also confine the flow of the river, resulting in higher and faster water flow.

He took the same course soon afterwards with four other papers, two of which ( On the quantity of acids, bases and salts in different varieties of salts and On a new and easy method of analysing sugar ) contain his discovery, regarded by him as second in importance only to the atomic theory, that certain anhydrates, when dissolved in water, cause no increase in its volume, his inference being that the salt enters into the pores of the water.

* Setting aside large areas where development is prohibited, nature is able to run its course, providing fresh air and clean water.

The world speed record on water was set 27 October 1991 by MIT Professor Mark Drela who pedalled a human-powered hydrofoil, " Decavitator ", to 18. 5 knots ( 21. 3 mph )( 9. 53 meters / second ) over a 100 meter race course in Boston, Massachusetts.
