Brittany Roberts AP bio WATER ESSAY The first thing water reminds us of is the clear liquid in our water bottles. However‚ water is more than a normal substance. Water is the beginning and the continual of life on earth. Because of its many unique properties‚ water was able to start life on our planet. Water covers about 3/4 of the earth. In nature‚ water naturally exists in all three physical states of matter—solid‚ liquid and gas. Water’s extraordinary properties are emergent properties resulting

Water Cycle Earth’s water is always in movement‚ and the water cycle‚ also known as the hydrologic cycle‚ describes the continuous movement of water on‚ above‚ and below the surface of the Earth. Since the water cycle is truly a "cycle‚" there is no beginning or end. Water can change states among liquid‚ vapor‚ and ice at various places in the water cycle‚ with these processes happening in the blink of an eye and over millions of years. Although the balance of water on Earth remains fairly constant

Hân Class: AE3B WATER SCARCITY : A TIME-BOMB IS ABOUT TO EXPLODE People can survive at least ten days without eating. But without water‚ they will die after only three days. It shows how important water is in people’s daily life. So‚ just imagine how we survive if there’s not any water available. That’s the reason why water scarcity is one of the key environment issues of our time. This essay will identify some major causes and offer three solutions. The shortage of water resources is mostly

Despite the fact that water is something that has no taste‚ we still love it! Who doesn’t relish the feeling of a cool drink of water on a sweltering hot day? Approximately 70% of our body’s mass is made of water and according to a number of doctors‚ drinking a total of eight glasses of water a day fulfils the necessary requirement of this liquid our body demands. For a long time now‚ I have been searching regarding the benefits associated with water. Finally‚ after reviewing countless websites

Surface Water - Surface water is water on the surface of the planet such as in a stream‚ river‚ lake‚ wetland‚ or ocean. It can be contrasted with groundwater and atmospheric water. - Non-saline surface water is replenished by precipitation and by recruitment from ground-water. It is lost through evaporation‚ seepage into the ground where it becomes ground-water‚ used by plants for transpiration‚ abstracted by mankind for agriculture‚ living‚ industry etc. or discharged to the sea where it becomes

and soil microbes. In some complex forests‚ there is also a well-defined lower tree layer. Forests are central to all human life because they provide a diverse range of resources: they store carbon‚ aid in regulating the planetary climate‚ purify water and mitigate natural hazards such as floods. Forests also contain roughly 90 percent of the world’s terrestrial biodiversity.[3] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The polarity of water Polarity means that the molecule has both a positively and negatively charged end. More important‚ the polarity of water is responsible for effectively dissolving other polar molecules‚ such as sugars and ionic compounds such as salt. Ionic compounds dissolve in water to form ions. This is important to remember because for most biological reactions to occur‚ the reactants must be dissolved in water. Because water is able to dissolve so many common substances‚ it is known as

Soapy water What affect does adding soap to water have on surface tension? Research: "Soaps and detergents include surfactants‚ that reduce the surface tension of the liquid. This allows the liquid to have a good contact with the material and to remove the dirt from it efficiently." (Kibron.com) "Hydrogen bonding between water molecules leads to many interesting consequences at the visible‚ macroscopic level. For example: the boiling point of water‚ its surface tension‚ and it’s ability to

WATER RESOURCES The sources of water that are useful to human life are called water resources. Uses of water include agricultural‚ industrial‚ household and recreational activities. The majority of human uses require fresh water. 97 percent of the water on the Earth is salt water and only 3 percent is fresh water; slightly over two thirds of this is frozen in glaciers and polar ice caps. The remaining unfrozen fresh water is found mainly as groundwater‚ with only a small fraction present above
