Answer 1

Water is destroyed all the time. Water is also created all the time. When you breathe, you take in oxygen (O2) which your body combines with carbohydrates (sugar, C6H12O6), creating carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) in the process.

Most of the combustion (burning) you witness releases H2O as a side product.

Put water under an electric current and you’ll release hydrogen gas and oxygen gas, destroying the original water.

These things happen all. the. time.
They are not unusual.
