- - - - Main component of the living things
      - To carry out life processes  medium for the chemical reactions (photosynthesis, respiration...)
      - Regulates the body temperature of living things Ej: sweat..
      - Human health (we need to drink clean fresh water)
  - - - Earth’s climate zones are determined by the average temperature and precipitation levels that occur
      - in different regions.
      -  Smoothing out the temperature changeWater’s high specific heat capacity means that coastal
      - regions generally have milder and less varied climates than inland regions.
      -  Oceans transport heat between regions and regulate the temperature of the planet.
- - - - A. Fresh water: very low salt content (inland water)
        
        B. Brackish water: moderate salt content (inland water)
        
        C. Salt water: high salt content (seawater) oceans and seas
  - - - Evaporation from surface water
      - Volcanic activity
- - - - After cloud has formed,
        
         Water returns to the Earth’s surface
        
         liquid rain
        
         solid snow and hail.
    - - Water penetrates the surface of the Earth underground water
    - -  Surface runoff -- water flows across the land and forms rivers
        
         Underground runoff -- water flows across underground passage
        
         It flows until it reaches the oceans
    - -  Plants lose water due to evaporation (caused by heat from the Sun)
      -  The water from this process also becomes part of the atmosphere.
    - -  Sun heats the surface water
      -  Water evaporates (turning into water vapour) becomes part off the atmosphere
    - -  Water vapour produced by evaporation and transpiration
      -  Rise -- coold down (lower temperature) -- turns into clouds
