Earth contains huge quantities of water in its oceans, lakes, rivers, the atmosphere, and believe it or not, in the rocks of the inner Earth. Over millions of years, much of this water is recycled between the inner Earth, the oceans and rivers, and the atmosphere. This cycling process means that freshwater is constantly made available to Earth's surface where we all live. Our planet is also very efficient at keeping this water. Water, as a vapor in our atmosphere, could potentially escape into space from Earth. But the water doesn't escape because certain regions of the atmosphere are extremely cold. (At an altitude of 15 kilometers, for example, the temperature of the atmosphere is as low as -60° Celsius!) At this frigid temperature, water forms solid crystals that fall back to Earth's surface.
Many people live faraway from freshwater sources. They need to carry their water home.
While our planet as a whole may never run out of water, it's important to remember that clean freshwater is not always available where and when humans need it. In fact, half of the world's freshwater can be found in only six countries. More than a billion people live without enough safe, clean water.
Also, every drop of water that we use continues through the water cycle. Stuff we put down the drain ends up in someone or something else's water. We can help protect the quality of our planet's freshwater by using it more wisely.

Answer: Friction is the resistance to motion of one object moving relative to another. It is not a fundamental force, like gravity or electromagnetism. Instead, scientists believe it is the result of the electromagnetic attraction between charged particles in two touching surfaces.
Explanation:
Answer:
Pressure, P = 67.57 atm
Explanation:
<u>Given the following data;</u>
- Volume = 0.245 L
- Number of moles = 0.467 moles
- Temperature = 159°C
- Ideal gas constant, R = 0.08206 L·atm/mol·K
<u>Conversion:</u>
We would convert the value of the temperature in Celsius to Kelvin.
T = 273 + °C
T = 273 + 159
T = 432 Kelvin
To find the pressure of the gas, we would use the ideal gas law;
PV = nRT
Where;
- P is the pressure.
- V is the volume.
- n is the number of moles of substance.
- R is the ideal gas constant.
- T is the temperature.
Making P the subject of formula, we have;
Substituting into the formula, we have;
<em>Pressure, P = 67.57 atm</em>
