Wonderful water

Each molecule of water is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.Water can be found in three physical states: liquid, solid (ice), or gas (steam or vapor).

Icebergs are made of frozen freshwater, not salt water, so they float. They can drift thousands of miles. The largest can be a kilometer or more across and a hundred meters tall, mostly underwater.Atlantic tropical cyclonic storms are called hurricanes. The word comes from a Carib Indian phrase meaning "big wind."
