The most important source of sediment is earth and rock material carried to the sea by rivers
and streams; the same materials may also have been transported by gla ciers and winds.
Other sources are volcanic ash and lava, shells and skeletons of organisms, chemical precipitates formed in seawater, and
particles from outer space.
Water is a most unusual substance because it exists on the surface of the earth in its
three physical states: ice, water, and water vapor. There are other substances that might exist in a
solid and liquid or gaseous state at temperature normally found at the earth’s surface, but there are no
other substances which occur in all three states.

Water is odorless, tasteless, and colorless. It is the only substance known exist in a natural state
as solid, liquid, or gas on the surface of the earth. It is a unive rsal solvent. Water does
not corrode, rust, burn, or separate into its components easily. It is chemically
indestructible. It can corrode almost any metal and erode the most solid rock. A unique property of
water is that it expands and floats on water when frozen or in the solid state. Water has a
freezing point 0° deg. C. and aboiling point of 100° deg. C. Water has the capacity for
absorbing great quantities of heat with relatively little increase in temperature. When
distilled,water is a good conductor of electricity but when salt is added, it is a poor conductor of electricity.

Sunlight is the source of energy for temperature change, evaporation, and currents for
water movement through the atmosphere. Sunlight controls the rate of photosynthesis for all marine
plants,which are directly or indirectly the source of food for all marine animals.
Migration, breeding, and other behaviors of marine animals are affected by light.
Water, as the ocean or sea, is blue because of the molecular scattering of the sunlight. Bluelight, being
of short wavelength, is scattered more effectively than the light of longer wavelengths. Variations in
color may be caused by particles suspended in the water, water depth, cloud cover, temperature,
and other variable factors. Heavy concentrations of dissolved materials cause ayellowish hue, while
algae will cause the water to look green. Heavy populations of plant and animal materials will cause the water
to look brown.

192. Which of the following topics best organizes the information in the text?
A.Water as substance, water and plants
B.State of water as vapor, ice, solid
C.Properties of water, its physical states, effects of the sun on water
D.Properties of seawater, photosynthesis oceans and seas
193. According to the passage, what is the most unique property of water?
A.Water is poor conductor of electricity.
B.Water exists on surface of the earth in three physical states.
C.Water is chemically indestructible.
D.Water is odorless, tasteless, and colorless.

194. Which of the following best defines the word distilled as is used in the last sentence of the
thirdparagraph?
A.Free of electrical energy
B.Free of salt content
C.Dehydrated soil
D.Containing wine

An international education initiative, known as global competence, was first noted in 1988 in a
report published by the Council on International Education Exchange. Higher education institutions were
enjoined to send students on exchange programs to universities abroad where Americans are not the
majority population and where English is not the dominant language.
Educational scholars have proposed definitions for the term global competence and postulates regarding the
required knowledge, skills, attitudes and experiences necessary to become globally competent. Cross-
cultural awareness and interaction, familiarity with an environment, intercultural facility, effective two-
