What provides energy that drives the water cycle?
The weather
The sun
The wind
The oceans
Desalinization technology has been developed to resolve the problem of:
Scarcity of freshwater
Dwindling fish populations
Extreme climate changes
Global economies
Critics of the desalinization process argue that the desalinated ocean water:
Is not safe to drink
Is not nutritious
Is too expensive to produce
Is difficult to bottle
How can desalination plants negatively affect the environment?
They emit salt into the atmosphere
They will eventually cause lowering of sea levels
The produce water that can destroy arable land
They burn fossil fuels that contribute to pollution
Once water makes it all the way through the water cycle, the water
Starts the cycle over again
Has finished that cycle and moves onto a different cycle
Dissapears
Stays in the stage at which it finished
