Explanation:
Fusion vs Fission
In fission, energy is gained by splitting apart heavy atoms, for example uranium, into smaller atoms such as iodine, caesium, strontium, xenon and barium, to name just a few. However, fusion is combining light atoms, for example two hydrogen isotopes, deuterium and tritium, to form the heavier helium. Both reactions release energy which, in a power plant, would be used to boil water to drive a steam generator, thus producing electricity.
Solid (ice caps)
Liquid (oceans, rivers, lakes, etc)
Gas (clouds)
No, the water is not different it is just that the units of measurement in the US is different then those units in Europe. This is similar to how the US uses miles and Europe uses kilometers
