About 70% of the human body is made up of water and about 70% of Earth is covered in water
From ancient times, explorers have "followed the water." Water's unique chemical and physical properties are essential to human survival. Without water, basic physical processes would be impossible. Cells within the human body would die. None of the essential physical functions, such as breathing, digestion, or muscle movement could take place without water.
About 70 percent of the human body is made up of water and, coincidentally, more than 70 percent of Earth is covered in water. Water creates an environment that sustains and nurtures plants, animals and humans, making Earth a perfect match for life in general.
What are your thoughts on this subject?

Right on Kevin Hill water is the most limiting factor on earth. I am talking about fresh clean water. We need to prevent its degradation and conserve as stewards of the living planet.

I never thought I would be saying this but I agree with Mary Lou Clark. Thank you for bringing back the easy ones since I got the real easy one about Earth being the only planet in the solar system NOT named for a roman god or goddess so WRONG! Also, FYI, The earth doesn't make new water it just keeps recycling the used water that we have been drinking, bathing in and cooking in for thousands of years so DON'T KEEP WASTING IT! Thank you!

That was an easy one. Thank You.
