In a heterogeneous mixture, we can observe different parts. Its composition is variable. It can be broken down into simpler substances by physical processes. The substance, in this case, is not uniform.
Evaporation can decrease the amount of water. Dust from the surroundings can enter the water. The water can freeze if the surrounding temperature decreases sufficiently.
