Melting icecaps and glaciers.
What makes up the earth's hydrosphere?
The Earth's water makes up the hydrosphere, be it frozen at the icecaps or in glaciers, liquid in the rivers, lakes, seas, oceans and ground water or as a gas or vapour in the atmosphere. sorry but not useful The water on Earth, such as in the oceans, seas, rivers and lakes, makes up the hydrosphere.
What area has the most water?
Oceans contain most of the world's water.Frozen icecaps and glaciers contain most of the world's fresh water.
What will the glaciers do to the sea level rising?
As the glaciers and icecaps melt they will make the oceans rise and it's all because of global warming. Sea ice is in the water already so its melting will not affect sea levels.
Where is the majority of earths fresh water stored in glaciers icecaps and icebergs lakes plants or the atmosphere?
In the Polar ice caps, about 69% of the worlds fresh water is in them.
