Understanding the Water Cycle and Resources

Water exists naturally in three states: solid, liquid, and gas. It is a universal solvent and can absorb a large amount of heat. The water cycle, through processes like evaporation and condensation, is responsible for distributing water throughout the air, land, and sea in a continuous cycle. While there is a lot of water on Earth, most is salt water and not available for drinking; freshwater comes from rainfall and groundwater.
