| Mar 27, 2015 at 10:17 | comment | added | Steeven | Well, why would you say that water molecules are not connected? In fact they are - just with weaker bonds (Van der Waals bonds, if I remember correctly) than inside a solid. They pull and push in each other in the same manner. And these bonds will easily break when the wave is too high (at shadow water or so), and you see the white splashing of the water at | |
