Water Facts

Did you know that water is the only substance that has originated naturally on Earth in three forms, a liquid, solid, and gas? Water moves around the Earth which is known as the water cycle. The average water molecule only spends less than a week in our atmosphere. A single drop of water contains billions of water molecules. A water molecule has three atoms: two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom also known as H2O.

The water cycle consists of 7 processes: evaporation, condensation, sublimation, precipitation, transpiration, runoff, and infiltration.
