|
|
The amount of water that evaporates is the same as the amount of water that falls back to Earth.
|
|

|
|
|
Water is a renewable resource.

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Water continually evaporates, condenses, and precipitates, and on a global basis, evaporation approximately equals precipitation. Because of this equality, the total amount of water vapor in the atmosphere remains approximately the same over time.
Detailed explanation-2: -The water cycle is self-renewing and continuous. The Sun provides the energy to power the water cycle. When water changes state in the water cycle, the total number of water particles remains the same. The changes of state include melting, sublimation, evaporation, freezing, condensation, and deposition.
