Answer:

False

Explanation:

A molecule can be defined as a particle that comprises of two or more atoms of an element that are bound together by a chemical bond. Molecules are usually electrically neutral. An example of a molecule is O2 (oxygen molecule); it comprises of two atoms of oxygen

A compound can be defined as a substance that is made of two or more different chemical elements that are bound together by a chemical bond which could either be an ionic bond or a covalent bond. An example of a compound is NaCl which is table salt; NaCl is a compound that is made up of one sodium element (Na) and one chlorine element (Cl) bound together by ionic bonds.

Therefore, when atoms combine, they form molecules, while a compound is a molecule that comprises of atoms of different elements. So we can say that not all molecules are compounds, but all compounds are molecules, hence molecule and compound can't be used interchangeably.

1. Although the state of Florida receives a lot of rainfall, about 61 percent of that water leaves the ground by evaporation and transpiration, and another 38 percent is ‘lost’ into the Atlantic Ocean & Gulf of Mexico, thus leaving only 1 percent of the rainfall water available for drinking and other human use. 

 2. Florida has a very vast underground water system, known as the Floridan aquifer system; for this reason, Florida is the source of drinking water to four other states. These states are South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi. The Floridan underground water system is made up of the Upper and Lower Floridan aquifers.

3. Residents of the state of Florida wanted to get rid of the water in certain areas of the state because there was too many wetlands, they experienced frequent flooding which posed a great measure of difficulty in navigating the state.

4. One negative result of the changes made by people in order to get rid of the ‘excess’ water in Florida was groundwater depletion which has led to the drying up of wells, decrease in water level in streams and lakes, reducing quality of water and land subsidence.

5. One thing that has been done to try and improve those mistakes is Rainwater harvesting; a method which is often used to replenish ground water. Using the rainwater harvesting approach, an outlet pipe is connected from the rooftop and used to divert the rainwater to existing wells.

Genetic variation can be caused by mutation (which can create entirely new alleles in a population), random mating, random fertilization, and recombination between homologous chromosomes during meiosis (which reshuffles alleles within an organism's offspring).
