What is the difference between fresh water and potable water?
the difference between fresh water and potable water is fresh water can come form the ground, and/or, ice burgs.
What percent of fresh water is in the form of liquid?
Approximately 69% of fresh water on Earth is in the form of liquid, primarily found in rivers, lakes, and groundwater. The remaining fresh water is stored in frozen form in glaciers and ice caps.
How do fresh water and salt water form layers?
Fresh water and salt water form layers due to differences in density. Salt water is denser than fresh water, so when they come into contact, the salt water sinks beneath the fresh water, creating distinct layers. This process is known as stratification.
How is fresh water scarce in Antarctica?
There is no fresh water in Antarctica. All the water on the continent is frozen. When heat is applied to it, it becomes fresh, potable water.
What is most fresh water locked up in the form of?
Most fresh water is locked up in the form of ice caps and glaciers, primarily in Antarctica and Greenland. These ice formations hold a large portion of the Earth's fresh water, with Antarctica alone containing about 70% of the world's fresh water resources.
In what form is the majority of the worlds fresh water?
ice
What form of fresh water covers most of the Earth?
== ==
Does salt and fresh mix?
It is quite easy to mix salt water and fresh water, which produces a more dilute form of salt water.
What form does most of Earth's fresh water fall to ground as?
Most of Earth's fresh water falls to the ground as rain.
What percent of the earth's fresh water is found in the antarctic?
75% of the Earths FRESH water is located in the Antarctic.
How fast does water travel in mph in fresh water?
Fresh water in a lake travels at approx 0 mph whereas fresh water, in the form of large raindrops, travels at approx 20 mph.
In what form is most of the earth's fresh water?
Only about 3% of Earth's water is fresh. Two percent of the Earth's water (about 66% of all fresh water) is in solid form, found in ice caps and glaciers. Because it is frozen and so far away, the fresh water in ice caps is not available for use by people or plants. That leaves about 1% of all the Earth's water in a form usable to humans and land animals. This fresh water is found in lakes, rivers, streams, ponds, and in the ground. (A small amount of water is found as vapor in the atmosphere.)
