Other sources are volcanic ash and lava, shells

and skeletons of organisms, chemical precipitates formed inseawater, and particles from outer space.Water is a most unusual substance because it exists on the surface of the earth in its three physical states: ice, water, and water vapor. There are other substances that might exist in a solid and liquid or gaseous state at temperature normally found at the earth’s surface, but there are noother substances which occur in all three states.Water is odorless, tasteless, and colorless. It is the only substance known exist in a natural state as solid, liquid, or gas on the surface of the earth. It is a universal solvent. Water does not  corrode, rust, burn, or separate into its components easily. It is chemically indestructible. It cancorrode almost any metal and erode the most solid rock. A unique property of water is that it expandsand floats on water when frozen or in the solid state. Water has a freezing point 0° deg. C. and aboiling point of 100° deg. C. Water has the capacity for absorbing great quantities of heat withrelatively little increase in temperature. Whendistilled,water is a good conductor of electricity but when salt is added, it is a poor conductor of electricity. Sunlight is the source of energy for temperature change, evaporation, and currents for water movement through the atmosphere. Sunlight controls the rate of photosynthesis for all marine plants,which are directly or indirectly the source of food for all marine animals. Migration, breeding, and  other behaviors of marine animals are affected buy light.Water, as the ocean or sea, is blue because of the molecular scattering of the sunlight. Bluelight, being of short wavelength, is scattered more effectively than the light of longer wavelengths.Variations in color may be caused by particles suspended in the water, water depth, cloud cover,temperature, and other variable factors. Heavy concentrations of dissolved materials cause ayellowish hue, while algae will cause the water to look green. Heavy populations of plant and animal materials will cause the water to look brown.
