1.Explain how human interference in the water cycle can affect water availability The water cycle is the process of evaporation‚ condensation and precipitation of water on Earth including rain water and how it is distributed. Human factors such as forest clearing‚ urban construction and changes in land use can all affect the distribution of water. Infiltration can be affected by forest clearance. This also affects percolation and the water table. When there is rain the forests holds a lot of rainfall

SALTS EVERYDAY First some words about salts in chemistry. Salts are ionic compounds that can result from the neutralization reaction of an acid and a base. They are composed of related numbers of cations (positively charged ions) and anions (negative ions) so that the product is electrically neutral (without a net charge). Salts can appear to be clear and transparent (sodium chloride)‚ opaque‚ and even metallic and lustrous (iron disulfide). In many cases the apparent opacity or transparency are
