What are earths waters like?

How much of the earths fresh water is frozen into ice?
Approximately 68.7% of the fresh water on Earth is locked up in glaciers and ice caps. This frozen water plays a critical role in regulating global climate and sea levels.
How much of earth fresh water is in icebergs and glaciers?
3%
How much of earths water is fresh water that you can drink and use?
Less than 1% of Earth's water is fresh water that is suitable for drinking and use. The majority of this fresh water is found in glaciers and ice caps, with the remaining amount found in lakes, rivers, and underground aquifers.
What are two kinds of glaciers and how are they different?
Two kinds of glaciers are valley glaciers and ice sheets. Valley glaciers are long, narrow glaciers that form in mountain valleys, while ice sheets are vast, continent-sized glaciers that cover large land areas. The main difference is in their size and location, with valley glaciers typically being smaller and found in mountainous regions, while ice sheets are much larger and exist in polar regions.
How much of the earths water is fresh water and how much is for drinking?
3% is fresh, but 1% is for drinking.
Why is most of earths fresh water not usable?
Most of Earth's fresh water is not usable because it is trapped in glaciers, ice caps, and underground aquifers. Additionally, pollution and contamination from human activities make much of the remaining fresh water unsuitable for consumption without extensive treatment.
