Is there a way to destroy water? End the cycle. No turning into any other element, just gone.
In: Planetary Science
Water is a molecule composed of two elements, oxygen and hydrogen. It ceases to be water when the oxygen and hydrogen are separated through processes like electrolysis, however the result is an equivalent mass of the elements oxygen and hydrogen. These elements can combine again to form water or other molecules.
Like all matter the elements themselves are very difficult to completely destroy, only break into smaller parts. The only way we have found to destroy matter is to create antimatter, when it touches matter both antimatter and matter are converted into energy. Antimatter is very difficult to create and nobody has ever made it in large quantities. In theory, however, the matter does not cease to exist, it continues to exist as energy.
