Riddles about water carry a lot of knowledge accumulated over centuries, useful information about water. Riddles about water open up new facets of it for us and make important accents.

Note that riddles are one of the forms that reflect deep folk wisdom. We have already gone back to the origins folk wisdom, in our materials such as and.

Everyone knows that questions, as such, arise at the moment of greatest concentration and interest in a particular subject. It can be assumed that questions on the most important and significant topics were “sublimated” into riddles and became a form of folk wisdom that is passed on from generation to generation. Each riddle focuses our attention on one or more important qualities or "essences" of an object, many of which are intangible.

Article title - "Riddles about water, with answers" confirms our agreement with the French writer, poet and pilot Antoine Marie Jean-Baptiste Roger de Saint-Exupery, who said in his world famous work"The Little Prince" that... the truth does not lie on the surface.

To illustrate the above, we present one of the possible interpretations of the Riddle - “I have sleeves, Ruk, although I don’t. And even though I’m not made of glass, I’m as bright as a mirror. Who am I, give me the answer?!” This Riddle states that the River is a Mirror, and a mirror, as everyone knows, reflects something or someone. If, for example, we assume that the waters of a river suddenly become polluted, then we can argue that this reflects general level technology development, society's attitude towards nature and ecology, as well as the quality of life of people in this region...

So, we bring to your attention a small selection of Riddles about water and other natural phenomena close to it, in Russian and Ukrainian.

Water is life.

Water is necessary to sustain the life of all living things. Life originated in water and without water it is not possible. Water plays an extremely important role in human life, because humans themselves are 80 percent water.

Look at the pictures. What water is safe to drink? (Mark with a blue pencil.) What kind of water can be hazardous to health? (Mark in red pencil.) Explain why you think this.

It is safe to drink water that has been purified, so we marked with a blue pencil tap water, bottled water, as well as water in a kettle, where the water is purified by boiling. Water from open sources that has not been purified is dangerous to drink.

Here write down your story about the beauty of water.

Water gives us the joy of life every day. This is a simple, very well-known substance on Earth. So familiar that we can stop noticing its magic! But water is not only that colorless liquid that is poured into a glass. This is the Ocean, which covers almost our entire planet, our entire wonderful Earth, on which life originated millions of years ago. Clouds, clouds, fogs that carry moisture to all living things on the earth's surface are also water. The endless ice deserts of the polar regions, snow covers covering almost half of the planet - and this is water. The diversity of life is limitless. It is everywhere on our planet. But life exists only where there is water! Flowing water is extremely beautiful, be it the majestic flow of a wide river or the murmuring waters of a small stream in the rocks. She can bewitch, calm, and console. How nice it is to just look at the quiet surface of the water, admire the shimmer of sunlight or the beauty of the moonlit path on the water. Colors of many different shades can be seen in the water, depending on the lighting and depth. Water is the main sacrament, the main miracle of the Planet.

Ordinary water, it turns out, is fraught with at least five still inexplicable mysteries. So, let's look at these 5 mysteries of water.

1. Hot water freezes faster than cold water.

If you place two identical flasks in the freezer, one with hot water and the other with cold water, then a flask with hot water will freeze faster than one with cold water. Although this seems to contradict common sense. This fact was first experimentally established by high school student Erasto B. Mpemba in 1963. Therefore, this phenomenon is called the “Mpemba effect”. Scientists still cannot figure out the cause of this phenomenon.

2. "Super cooling" prevents ice from forming.

Water is known to turn into ice when cooled to a temperature below 0 degrees Celsius. But ordinary water has amazing property"supercooling"! This phenomenon leads to the fact that water, even cooled to a temperature below 0 degrees, can remain liquid. This is observed in cases where environment does not contain centers or nuclei of crystallization that could trigger the formation of ice crystals. When the crystallization process starts, you can observe how the “super-cooled” water instantly turns into ice.

3. Water can be “glassy”

What states can water be in? Solid, liquid and gaseous? But no. Scientists identify at least five states of “liquid” water and as many as fourteen states of ice. Remember the point about super-cooled water? So, no matter what you do, at -38 °C, the most super-cooled water will suddenly turn into ice. And at -120 °C, ice becomes viscous, like molasses; at -135 °C and below, it turns into “glassy” or “vitreous” water - a solid substance with no crystals.

4. Memory of water.

It is believed that water is capable of “remembering” the properties of liquids dissolved in it, even if the dilution factor is so high that nothing remains in the solution except water molecules. An international group of scientists led by Professor Madeline Ennis from Queen's University Belfast tried to confirm this fact in 2002. Based on the results of the research, it was stated that the “water memory” effect really exists. However, experiments carried out later under the supervision of independent experts did not yield results. Nevertheless, this phenomenon is still being studied.

5. Quantum number of water

It turns out that at the molecular level, at the level of attoseconds (the time it takes light to travel a distance comparable to the size of a water molecule), an extraordinary quantum effect occurs with water and chemical formula water turns from ordinary H2O into H15O! This phenomenon was established in 1995 as a result of an experiment.
