Mercury and digital thermometers are the most common types of household devices for measuring body temperature.
range of the water, which differs for various species. Thus, for example, the increase in temperature of river water by only a few degrees as a result of heat dischargedfrom power plants may kill most of the native fish. See Water Pollution. The properties of all materials are also markedly affected by temperature changes. At arctic temperatures, for example, steel becomes very brittle and breaks easily,and liquids either solidify or become very viscous, offering high frictional resistance to...
