The earth has a limited amount of water.That water keeps going around and around and around in what we call the "Water cycle".It is the only way that Earth can be continually supplied with fresh water.The sun is the most important part of renewing our water supply.It can be solid (ice)‚a liquid (water)‚ or gas (water vapor). Water on earth is always changing. How do these changes happen? It is made up of a few main parts:evaporation (and transpiration)‚condensation and precipitation. Evaporation

Water scarcity and global warming Global warming is expected to account for about 20 percent of the global increase in water scarcity this century. It is predicted that global warming will alter precipitation patterns around the world‚ melt mountain glaciers‚ and worsen the extremes of droughts and floods. Global water consumption increased sixfold in the last century - more than twice the rate of population growth - and will continue growing rapidly in coming decades. Yet readily available freshwater

Properties of Water Water is essential for life as we know it on earth. It is used by plants and animals for basic biological processes which would be impossible without the use of water. The origin of all life can be traced back to the water in the Earth’s precambrien seas. Water is also the universal solvent. It reacts with more elements and compounds than any other substance known to man. Water is a polar molecule made up of on atom of hydrogen and two atoms of oxygen. It is attracted

organisms would not exist without water. Within the human body the majority of biological reactions require water to take place. Although it is possible for human survival without nutrients for up to several weeks‚ without water humans would die in a matter of days. In the human body‚ water makes up 60-70% of adult body weight. At cellular level water makes up between 70-95% of the mass of a cell. The amount of water in the human body is balanced. This balance is between water obtained from liquids consumed

Build Water Rockets Explain how they work and ask the students which of Newton’s laws apply to them. You should talk about what forces are acting on the water rocket to make it move (talk conceptually about the idea of a free body diagram). You should have the force from the ejected propellant acting upwards‚ and the weight and air resistance acting downwards. Talk about how each law applies to the physics of the water rocket. Try to have the students identify which

English 3 Research Paper Water Pollution: A Global Problem In 2009‚ the International Coastal Cleanup (ICC) collected 3.4 million kg of marine debris worldwide; 10.2 million individual pieces of rubbish in 108 countries. Water pollution is everywhere and is a continuing problem caused by our careless behavior‚ which needs to be stopped. It is affecting people as well as animals all around the world. First‚ water pollution causes many problems all over the world that effect marine life as

impossible without water. Without water men die of dehydration About 70% of the human body is water. Of the total surface of the earth‚ 75 % is water and just below the surface of the land in most areas there is a saturated layer known as the water table. Animals and plants have large percentages of water in their make-up and some animals regulate their movements according to the water sources. If there is no water there can be no life. The moon is a sterile desert because there is no water in it. It is

biological importance of water Water‚ the most abundant compound on the planet‚ is a material which is essential for all living organisms. Its uses in all living things cover a huge variety of everyday functions which are immeasurably important to the continuity of the organism. The fact that water makes up between 60 and 95 percent of all living organisms speaks for itself on the incredible biological importance of this compound. One of the major functions of water in living organism is its

The Water Pollution on Our Earth If we watch news now‚ sometimes they talk about our environment. They say that our environment is very worrying and needs the attention from us. One of our environments is water. Water is a vital necessity for us to fulfill the daily needs such as cooking‚ bathing‚ washing and the others else. We usually hear that some big city have a problem with their water‚ some area in many country occur drought‚ and many people compete to get clean water. We often ask in our
