Substance That
Never "Dies”
Is it possible that the same

That the water coming out of
your faucets flowed down the
RiVer Nile centuries ago?
yes, for thanks to a process
known as the water 'cycle, wa
ter never “dies”. The bond that
unites two hydrogen atoms with
one oxygen 'atom to form the
life-giving substance H 2 0 is
so strong that it is almost im
possible to break. Changes do
occur when water is heated or
cooled. But while it may “fade
away”, it never is destroyed.
Thus, even the “fresh” water
we use in our own homes has
been around' a long time

Water at earth's surface is heated by sunlight and
evaporates; the water vapor becomes part of the
air we breathe.
As wiarm 'air rises and cools, the water vapor
forms smlall particles of liquid or ice such as
