A property of water is the attraction the water molecules have for other molecules. Which of the following statements is TRUE .

Which of the following statements is FALSE about watersheds?

The watershed begins along a divide, which are a series of low points in the watershed.

An estuary is where the mouth of a freshwater river meets the ocean and the water in this estuary is “brackish” because it’s a mix of salt and fresh water.

Where a river flattens out and widens the water slows, warms, and the amount of sediment and biodiversity increases.
