Question

The amount of ground water on the earth will always remain the same. Do you agree? Give reasons.

Answer 1

My answer is no.Because we use ground water and rain charges up the ground water.This process keeps on going making changes in the amount of ground water.but some claim that the water amount shall remain same as before because of water cycle.so i would like to conclude that ''the water cycle keeps changing the water amounts,present on different surfaces on earth.so amount of water may be same but not exactly same''

Hope it helps
Thanks!

Answer 2

I totally agree with each word of the statement. The amount of water that you drink, bathe, wash, splash or waste always go through the ocean ultimately to restore its evaporated water.
The water gets evaporated from the water bodies by sun's heat. It goes up the sky and form clouds.
The clouds are actually big accumulation of water droplets. Ultimately, it falls down in form of rain. If you wonder there might be some loss, but no! The precipitation also comes in form of snow, hail, fog, etc.
It comes to earth. Now, we may or may not use water. The water you use will be drained away into oceans, and unused water still remains there on earth(water bodies, groundwater, reservoirs)
And.... the cycle continues.
Even example of water balance on earth can be seen perfectly in oceans or just a sample of water!
Hope this helps!
