The water in water faucet comes from oceans indirectly through the process of water cycle and network of public and private water distribution pipelines.

Explanation:

The water in our water faucet comes from the Ocean. However, the process is a bit cyclical (includes water cycle in reality- evaporation from the ocean and other water bodies, condensation and then rain). This can be explained in the following steps-

Step 1- Water from the oceans (humongous water bodies) gets evaporated under the influence of sunlight and wind.

Step 2- These evaporated water vapours, condense and forms a cloud. After they become too heavy, they rain over land and ocean alike.

Step 3- Rainwater gets collected in depressions, lakes and other places which are eventually carried out to groundwater and lakes.

Step 4-Public body (involved in supplying water) pumps water from reservoirs and lakes and distribute them to the households in-lieu of monthly charges.

Step 5-Water gets stored temporarily at the individual water tank in each house from where water faucet receives water supply.

"Water evaporates and then turns into condensation and then turns into participation" is the way water get from the ocean to your water faucet.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Many public water systems prefer to focus on surface water supplies contained in the lakes, rivers, and streams on Earth's surface, which result from evaporation process and rainfall. Through constructing an outlet, a municipal water utility uses surface water to pump water to a site where it can be collected, processed and then pumped out to residents. Yet millions of people across the world are using reservoirs of groundwater.Surface and ground water both are source to cater uttermost need of life i.e water.

Según la historia evolutiva y sus diferentes saltos, ¿Qué linaje de especies es más antiguo?
Arturiano [62]

es la A

Hace aproximadamente 250 millones de años ocurrió la extinción masiva del Pérmico-Triásico, un evento en el cual murieron hasta el 96 por ciento de las especies marinas y un porcentaje similar de las terrestres. Cerca de tres millones de años después se produjo la separación, a partir de un ancestro en común, de los linajes que con el tiempo darían origen a las aves y los cocodrilos. El grupo que incluye tanto a cocodrilos como aves se lo denomina Archosauria, que significa ‘reptiles dominantes’.
