Underground run-off Process by which liquid water flows below the surface forming underground rivers that eventually return water to the seas and oceans.
Universal Solvent Property of water by which many substances can be dissolved in it producing blood, sap ....
Boiling and Melting Points Property of water thanks to which most water on Earth is liquid, which makes it possible for life to exist.
Temperature Regulation Property of water that facilitates life on Earth by keeping temperatures constant, not too hot and not too cold.
