Earth contains huge quantities of water in its oceans, lakes, rivers, the atmosphere, and believe it or not, in the rocks of the inner Earth. Over millions of years, much of this water is recycled between the inner Earth, the oceans and rivers, and the atmosphere. This cycling process means that freshwater is constantly made available to Earth's surface where we all live. Our planet is also very efficient at keeping this water. Water, as a vapor in our atmosphere, could potentially escape into space from Earth. But the water doesn't escape because certain regions of the atmosphere are extremely cold. (At an altitude of 15 kilometers, for example, the temperature of the atmosphere is as low as -60° Celsius!) At this frigid temperature, water forms solid crystals that fall back to Earth's surface.
Many people live faraway from freshwater sources. They need to carry their water home.
While our planet as a whole may never run out of water, it's important to remember that clean freshwater is not always available where and when humans need it. In fact, half of the world's freshwater can be found in only six countries. More than a billion people live without enough safe, clean water.
Also, every drop of water that we use continues through the water cycle. Stuff we put down the drain ends up in someone or something else's water. We can help protect the quality of our planet's freshwater by using it more wisely.

b) 0.032 j/k
Explanation:
Find the attachment for solution
Well, first of all, the formula for finding potential energy is;
PE=mgh
Where; m is the mass
g is the gravitational force or acceleration due to gravity
h is the height.
Anyway, according to the question, the mass is 1kg, the acceleration due to gravity has a constant value of 10ms² . And the height is 3m. Now you just have to use all these in the formula. So;
mgh= 1 x 10 x 3. That will be 30. And the unit of potential energy is Joule. So the answer is 30 joules. Hope i helped. Have a nice day.
Answer:
Explanation:
To solve the problem, we must know the kind of compounds we are dealing with.
For the first compound, P1 and second compound P2:
N O N O
Mass percent 64.17 35.73 47.23 52.79
Atomic mass 14 16 14 16
Number of
moles 64.17/14 35.73/16 47.23/14 52.79/16
4.58 2.23 3.37 3.30
Simplest
ratio 4.58/2.23 2.23/2.23 3.37/3.30 3.3/3.3
2 1 1 1
P1 compound is N₂O
P2 compound is NO
These are the compounds,
In N₂O = 28:16
NO = 14:16
This is the ratio of nitrogen to a fixed mass of oxygen for the two compounds.
