How does the water on earth's surface stay instead of dripping?
The gravity around the earth holds the water in place
How long does salt water stay on earth?
The water supply on Earth remains constant. Water continuously changes and relocates through the water cycle.
If there was no water cycle where would all the earth's water eventually go?
There are two places where Earth's water would stay when there is no water cycle. If there was no evaporation, water would just stay in the water bodies permanently. If there was no condensation, water would be in the clouds and the atmosphere as water vapour.
Will water stay on earth forever?
If the rain still falls then yes we have a good chance of water staying here on earth forever:D
Does water on earth increase decrases or stay the same as it moves through the water cycle?
It stays the same.
How do species survive on earth?
Because of the food and the water makes them stay alive.
Why don't your feet stay on the ground when your in water?
because the up thrust from the earth is greater than gravity when you are in the water
Why does water remain liquid on earth compared to the other planets?
Because on most planets (mars being an exeption as there are places where water can stay liquid) temperature and/or atmospheric pressure is to high or low for water to stay liquid.
How is the total amount of water on the earth changing?
nothing is constant in the earth.everything changes every second in the earth.
Does the earth recycle water for us?
yes earth does recycle water for us this method is shown in the water cycle which is a form of cycle mad from the weather .. when the water evaporates all the bad materials stay on the ground .. so that's a form of recycling =)
Why is it important to have water on mars?
It is important to have water on Mars as it is required for human life. Without it, humans would only be able to stay there as long as the water they brought from Earth lasted.
How does water stays on Earth's surface?
Gravity keeps water on Earth. Note that if you consider water is just the liquid substance, this seems obvious, but if you consider it is also a gas (water vapour), which can move away from the surface of the Earth with the air , then it isn't so obvious. Nonetheless, water vapour, the molecule H2O, is still too heavy to escape the Earth's gravitational pull. As a contrast, consider Mars or the Moon, where water will not stay on the surface, and escapes into space, such that there is none left on those bodies. Other gases do escape, such as hydrogren or helium.
