All ground water is freshwater. But not all freshwater is in the form of groundwater. E.g. freshwater may exist in the form of ponds, lakes, rivers or ice caps.
Ground Water
Ground water
Ocean water has salt in it, Freshwater does not.
76% (more than two thirds) of Earth's freshwater is found in any ice on Earth. (ex. glaciers) 23% of freshwater is found in groundwater 12% of the groundwater is "shallow ground water" 11% of the groundwater is "deep ground water" 0.34% of Earth's freshwater is found in rivers, streams, and lakes 0.037% of freshwater is found in water vapor
Yes and no. More or less freshwater than where?? You can't compare unless you have something to compare against. Is your question whether or not there is more freshwater underground or above ground?
No groundwater have freshwater than lakes and rivers
The largest amount (by volume) of freshwater above ground is Lake Baikal in Russia. It contains about 20% of the surface freshwater. However, almost all of the world's freshwater is underground.
Ground water is under ground in the soil and runoff is extra water from when it has rained.
A large stream of surface water is usually called a river. A river is freshwater and runs from high to low ground.
Since sea water is much denser than freshwater, the pH level would be higher. The saline levels in the sea water contributes to a higher acidic level.
it 's a lot more than we could consume. don't ya think
