AMAZING H2O FACTS
Water vapour has been discovered in other
parts of the universe including Venus.
It is the biggest greenhouse gas!
Only
0.035% of all the earths H2O is found as
water vapour in the atmosphere.
Icebergs
float because H2O expands as it freezes.

Water
is actually the biggest greenhouse gas & stops us freezing
to death!
The
driest place on earth is Death Valley, California, USA although
people do dispute this!
The
wettest place on earth is Tutunendo, Columbia with a very wet
annual rainfall of 12 meters.
For
centuries the moisture content in the air was determined by measuring
the length of single human hairs.
Moisture
in the air improves the quality of silk production in China &
textiles in Manchester.

Moist
air is actually lighter than dry air, & even Newton was not
believed on this one!
In
the 1840's, ice was harvested in huge quantities in Massachusetts,
USA and exported to London, England to be served with drinks.
The
human body is largely made of water with brain cells being 82%
H2O !
