Explanation:

1. The four main characteristics of water are high specific - heat capacity (it can absorb and store a large amount of heat), high heat of vaporization (a lot of energy is needed to turn it into vapor), cohesion (water molecules stick to each other), and adhesion (water molecules stick to other substances).
2. The majority of Earth's water in the north and south poles is in the form of ice.
3. Water can be classified as salt - water (found in oceans) and fresh - water (found in lakes, rivers, etc.).

Answer:
