Question

“Water can neither be created nor destroyed”. Do you agree with the statement? Justify.

Answer 1

Yes, I agree with the statement “Water can neither be created nor destroyed.” This is because water on Earth constantly changes its form,from liquid to solid as ice and snow, and to gas as water vapor,but the actual amount of water remains the same. It is neither created anew nor destroyed; only its physical state changes. Water is a renewable resource that gets recycled through the water cycle, ensuring the total quantity of water stays constant on the planet. Though water can be artificially made in a laboratory by chemically combining hydrogen and oxygen, it is not practical or economical on a large scale. Thus, the principle that water cannot be created or destroyed holds true naturally.
