Your Turn 8.1 You Decide Opposites Attract
Examine the pictures of water above. What do they tell you about water? How do they relate to the wide-ranging effects of water on our lives? After answering these questions, brainstorm a list of other opposites that can be represented by water and then answer what it would be like to have a world with no water.
Interpretation:
A brief description about water and its wide ranging effects on our lives has to be given by examining the given pictures of water. An explanation should be given for the question that what it would be like to have a world with no water.
Concept introduction:
Water covers most part of the Earth.
It is a liquid and so it has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container.
It is a very important for the existence of life on Earth.
Water provides largest ecosystems simply the aqua eco systems.
Explanation of Solution
The given pictures of water are shown below,
From the picture we can give many facts about water and some of them are listed below,
The both pictures reveal the abundance and its vital energy in the nature. It can be moved easily by wind or it takes the shape of its environment.
Water is the part of larger ecosystem namely aqua-ecosystem.
Uncontrolled winds causes’ high altitude waves like in the second picture which can seriously affects many human beings and other organisms.
The life in Earth is completely dependent to WATER and so without water life would cease to exist. The world becomes dusty and dry.
