why is the water cycle important?

To sustain life(fauna/flora) on earth especially inland area.\nWater Cycle:\nOcean evaporate > vapour rise to sky > condense form cloud >\nmeet cold front become rain > rain form stream >stream form river > river flow to coast.\nwhen the cycle is disrupt or changed, drought/flood occurs.\nthe site below is an US site for:

h2o has a higher specific heat, meaning it takes a greater amount of energy to change the temperature of the h2o than the metal.  That is why it takes a long time for lakes to freez, ect.

The conduction of food materials,water,etc is very essential for the survival of an organism.If u take the example of lower organism devoid of any specialized structures for conduction,the complexities of life processes are not as complex as that of the higher organisms.The specialized structures are more efficient,protective in their own ways and above all indispensable.If the complex life forms can carry out many processes at same time its because they get uninterrupted supply of oxygen,blood in case of higher animals,water and many materials at the same time .its all because of specialized structures.

Yes, i do think its important. but its proabably the hardest topic to memorize since theres so much of it to know.  Geography which is the physical nature of the earth like climate, vegitation, sea masses, and all of their interactin with the human population.  So there for when you see some one on your television talking about the days weather or when you find diseases that can seriously put a hurting to the populaion on the earth like mad cow disease. All of this has to do with geography,  Geography in my opinion is a very important subject.  And the thing is every day of your life involves it.

Do you mean water cycle?\n\nWater vapor in the air is part of the water cycle. Water vapor is a gas. Water vapor is a variable gas in the atmosphere being higher in places near water sources esp. the ocean.

Water fleas are important in examining water quality because they are ubiquitous organisms that are very sensitive to environmental stress, they are easy to culture and feed, and you do not need an IACUC permit to possess them.

The same thing that is in water that humans need.  In plants water helps keep the plants standing upright (turgor pressure).  They help keep the plan hydrated, and help it move necessary nutrients through the plant.

Its not really important.\n\nThey're saying that someday the earth could heat up enough to melt the north and south poles and burry us all in water.  The sea is currently rising at a rate of like a half inch each year.  However, climet changes all of the time and so the greenhouse effect isn't necessarily a concern.

Water is consumed in virtually every metabolic and chemical process your body engages in. Drinking water will fuel those processes and give you more energy. When you excercise (which of course you are, if you wish to lose weight), you comsume vast amounts of water, usually 2-3 times as much as you sweat out, and you sweat more than you think.\n\nThe process of "digesting" water is catabolic, meaning it consumes calories, so drinking water between meals will keep you from binge-eating later and it will burn a small ammount of calories to boot.\n\nWater is the most pure liquid you can drink, the benefits of water go on and on. Everyone should drink several glasses worth every day.

True. water is essential for the transport of nutrients within them, since it is the "universal solvent".

I would say the Sun. You need it in order to create evaporation to create the clouds that produce rain. Without it, there would be no rain.\n\nAfter reading the additional comments, the sun is still more important than rain. Sure, we can create our own light but it isn't economically feasible to create enough sources of light for plants to photosynthesize and create Oxygen for us to breathe. The Sun's light covers a much wider area than we could imagine or build for, at least economically speaking.\n\nWe can live without water for a short time, but we can't live without oxygen. If the plants stop producing oxygen because of lack of light, we'll die even if we have an abundance of water.

Lots of reasons.  It depends on the air temperature and moisture content, the area that the water evaporates from, local geography (like mountains and lakes) as well as the composition of the cloud (water or ice crystals).

Earth is special because it has water. Human life, or any other kind of life, is heavily dependent on water. If a planet has water than the chances are high that it will have life.

water. it's the creator of life.

climate produces seasons which are extremely necessary for the benefit of our world....its like the cycle of life and all that.

Water is as important to Fish as Air is to Us.\nAfter all thats the basic need for us to survive. So they need it all the time
