Does the amount of water on earth change why or why not?
For the most part, the amount of water on Earth stays the same. The only way for the amount of Earth's water to increase would be for it to come from outer space. Not coincidentally, this is precisely what happens. Comets, made of dust and ice, enter the Earth's atmosphere and melt from the friction of the air as it plummets towards Earth's surface. The resulting water is then added to the already existing water in the earth's atmosphere (clouds), in bodies of water (oceans, lakes, etc.), and the water trapped in the form of ice (glaciers, icebergs, etc.)
