Irrigation: water pumped from the ground contains minerals (salt). Water evaporates, minerals remain. Land ...

... Remember energy is not created or destroyed. It is merely converted from one form to another. When we say we “lose” energy as heat it doesn’t mean it goes away. It means it escapes our body in the form of heat, and in this form it is unusable by us. The sun is the ultimate source of energy that cont ...
