Forms of Water

Earth has many resources in which water is one of them. Water is an essential to every thing that exist and lives. There is water everywhere around us whether we can see it or not. There are three forms of water which are solid, liquid, and gas that we all depend on.

Sold water are frozen water that freezes at a temperature of 0 degrees Celsius, 32 degree of Fahrenheit (American Water Works Association 2002). When waters are about to freeze, the molecules moves farther apart thus expanding, and making it less dense than water. (AWWA 2002). The ice will be much lighter than the same volume of water which is why ice can float.

Liquid Water is water that flows freely. It is wet and fluid (AWWA 2002). Liquid water is the most recognizable because we see and use it everyday. We use liquid water to cook our food, wash our clothes and dishes and many more.

Water as a gas vapor is the changes from liquid to gas. If you take a warm shower you'll see steam like rising from the bottom to the ceiling and that is gas vapor. Water vapor attaches to dust in the air, and in warm temperature it forms raindrops, in cold, it freezes and forms snow or hail.

 Earth provides many great resources, and water is one of the most important resource that it could provide for us humans and other living organisms.
