3% of Earth's water is fresh and of this 3%, 69% is Ice.Thus 97% of Earth's water is saltyand 2.07 of the fresh water is Ice.Which means 99.07% of Earth's water is not liquid fresh water.__________________________________________________________________The percentage of fresh water volume to total water is 2.5 %.Of this total volume 70% is ice.Of this fresh water around 30% is underground water.Fresh water lakes and rivers contain around 0.3% of total fresh water.The total usable fresh water is less than 1% of all fresh water resources.refer to link below
earthlings receive 120 to 40 miles of rain and snow combined with hail and sleet
Most precipitation returns to earth in the ocean. This precipitation comes from water that went from the earth into the atmosphere.
Convectional precipitation is the type of precipitation caused by air being heated at the surface of the earth. Convectional precipitation can fall anywhere on earth.
Water cycle returns water to earth. It is a continuous cyclic process.
Approximately 50% of the land on earth does not receive sufficient precipitation.

No much. Average humidity on the continent is five percent. It is the driest continent on earth.

Antarctica is the driest continent on earth, because there is almost no precipitation there: average humidity is about five percent.
Because they don't get much precipitation there.Another AnswerAverage humidity is less than five percent on the continent, on average.
Most precipitation returns to earth in the ocean. This precipitation comes from water that went from the earth into the atmosphere.
Most of the Earth's precipitation falls in the ocean.
Convectional precipitation is the type of precipitation caused by air being heated at the surface of the earth. Convectional precipitation can fall anywhere on earth.
Antarctica's average humidity is about five percent. For a continent which is the size of USA and Mexico combined, this makes Antarctica a desert. On the northern coasts, there may be as much as eight inches of precipitation per year, and elsewhere, precipitation is negligible.
