2nd Answer:
More like 69% of the Earth's FRESH water is frozen in the two polar ice caps. The ice at the very bottom of the south polar ice cap is as much as 100,000 years old. It is also about 2.3 thousand meters below sea level.
70% of the Earth's surface is water. Of this 70%, 98% is salt water, leaving 2% as fresh water. Of the 2% that is fresh, about 90% is frozen.
On Antarctica, you can find about 90% of the earth's store of ice which holds about 70% of the earth's fresh water.
70%
Most water is found in the icebergs and glaciers floating around. The next highest amount of fresh water is found in the ground. (groundwater and aquifers)
Fresh water is naturally occurring water on the Earth's surface with low concentrations of dissolved salts and solids. Fresh water can be found in ponds, icebergs, rivers, and groundwater aquifers.
earth's fresh water can be found in rainfall
~71% of the earth is covered with water, of that ~97% is salt and ~3% is fresh (2% of fresh water is frozen, only about 1% is available)
The fresh water better than the salt water because the salt water has salt and that's not good for the living things
earth's fresh water can be found in rainfall
no. but most of earths fresh water is.
Frozen in the icecaps (in the form of ice at the poles).
Most of Earth's fresh water is found in glaciers and ice caps.
3%
3%
in the underground and rivers, streams ,lakes.
0.3
Only about 1.7% of the world's total water is trapped in glaciers and ice caps, but about 68.7% of fresh water on Earth is frozen in them.
Approximately 70% of the Earth's fresh water is contained in the form of ice in the Antarctic.
Most water is found in the icebergs and glaciers floating around. The next highest amount of fresh water is found in the ground. (groundwater and aquifers)
Of total water available in earth, 2.59% of water is fresh and in that 2% of water is frozen as glaciers in the poles. Ground water constitutes around 0.592% and about 0.014% is present in lakes, ponds, etc.
