The Earth's Water Cycle involves Evaporation, Condensation, and Precipitation. Evaporation purifies the water resulting to the replenishment of freshwater to the Earth.

Water pollution is a concern despite of the water being continuously cycled through Earth's systems because the source of pollution is has not been removed.

Water pollution is defined as the contamination of bodies of water. Pollutants are directly or indirectly released to the bodies of water causing the water to be polluted.

Imagine: A river is filled with garbage, it is polluted. The water from the river undergoes the water cycle but since the garbage is still present in the river, the freshwater that comes from precipitation becomes polluted.

According to Newton's first law, an object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. Any passengers in the car will also be decelerated to rest if they are strapped to the car by seat belts. Also if a car was going straight but another car (unbalanced force) bumps into it causing the motion of the car to change.

The circulatory and respiratory systems work together to circulate blood and oxygen throughout the body. Air moves in and out of the lungs through the trachea, bronchi, and bronchioles. Blood moves in and out of the lungs through the pulmonary arteries and veins that connect to the heart.

Digestive System gets nutrients (good) from food and hands it over to the blood and Circulatory System then carries those nutrients where they need to go.

The excretory system removes waste from the body. remove waste from the blood. The digestive system breaks down the food you eat into nutrients that provide energy and building materials for cells. The digestive and excretory sytems work together to process the food that you eat.
