Water provides a ...
habitat for aquatic life. Also it forms a major component in tissues.

What is cohesion?
Cohesion refers to the forces of attraction between the water molecules. The hydrogen bonds between water molecules cause them to stick together.
5 of 7
What is high heat capacity?
It can absorb large amounts of heat energy before its temperature increases. The hydrogen bonds in water can absorb lots of energy.
6 of 7
What does high latent heat of evaporation mean?
This means that a lot of energy is needed for water to change state (for it to evaporate).
