  2. Deepstaria enigmatica - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deepstaria_enigmatica

    The Deepstaria enigmatica has a wide, thin bell (up to 60 cm or 2 ft), [1] transparent in appearance, which undulates as the jellyfish moves. They are usually found in Antarctic and near-Antarctic seas, but have been spotted in waters near the United Kingdom and Gulf of Mexico, at depths of 600–1,750 metres (1,970–5,740 ft).

  3. Electromagnetic absorption by water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_absorption...

    Water vapor concentration for this gas mixture is 0.4%. Water vapor is a greenhouse gas in the Earth's atmosphere, responsible for 70% of the known absorption of incoming sunlight, particularly in the infrared region, and about 60% of the atmospheric absorption of thermal radiation by the Earth known as the greenhouse effect. [25]

  4. Transparency and translucency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparency_and_translucency

    Photons interact with an object by some combination of reflection, absorption and transmission. Some materials, such as plate glass and clean water, transmit much of the light that falls on them and reflect little of it; such materials are called optically transparent. Many liquids and aqueous solutions are highly transparent.

  5. Purwa Falls - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purwa_Falls

    The Purwa Falls is an example of a nick point caused by rejuvenation. Knick point, also called a nick point or simply nick, represents breaks in slopes in the longitudinal profile of a river caused by rejuvenation. The break in channel gradient allows water to fall vertically giving rise to a waterfall. [3]

  6. Drop (liquid) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drop_(liquid)

    Water drops on a leaf Water drops falling from a tap. A drop or droplet is a small column of liquid, bounded completely or almost completely by free surfaces.A drop may form when liquid accumulates at the end of a tube or other surface boundary, producing a hanging drop called a pendant drop.

  7. Precipitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precipitation

    The main ways water vapor is added to the air are: wind convergence into areas of upward motion, [12] precipitation or virga falling from above, [24] daytime heating evaporating water from the surface of oceans, water bodies or wet land, [25] transpiration from plants, [26] cool or dry air moving over warmer water, [27] and lifting air over ...

    Cascada del Ézaro waterfall, Dumbría, Galicia (Spain); Cascada de Maro, Maro, Málaga (Spain); Mealt Falls, Isle of Skye. Ketubjorg (Skagafjörður, Iceland) [4]; Mealt Falls (Isle of Skye, Scotland) [5]

  9. Near-infrared window in biological tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near-infrared_window_in...

    Although water is nearly transparent in the range of visible light, it becomes absorbing over the near-infrared region. Water is a critical component since its concentration is high in human tissue. The absorption spectrum of water in the range from 250 to 1000 nm is shown in Figure 2.
