It means that these energy sources produce fewer harmful emissions and pollutants compared to traditional fossil fuels.

Water sources are unequally distributed, and much of the freshwater is tied up as ice in glaciers and ice caps.

The water cycle is crucial for distributing fresh water across the planet, but its effectiveness can vary by region.
