How much of earths water is frozen water?

A bit less than 2% of the worlds water is frozen. Antarctica accounts for about 80% of the worlds fresh water.


How much of the earth is covered by freshwater?

Out of all the water on Earth, only 2.75 percent is fresh water, including 2.05 percent frozen in glaciers, 0.68 percent as groundwater and 0.011 percent of it as surface water in lakes and rivers.


What percent of salt water is frozen?

Of the 2% fresh water in our world, around 90% is frozen but I guess more and more are in liquid form now due to global warming


How much of the earths water is fresh water that is not frozen?

Very little of the water on earth is outside either the oceans or the polar ice caps. Only three percent of the water in the world is fresh, and of that:26.5 million cubic kilometres or about 2.1 percent of all water is in the Antarctic Ice Sheet3 million cubic kilometres or about 0.25 percent is in the Greenland Ice SheetMost of the rest is in a few major lakes like Lake Baikal (23,600 km3 or one fifth of non-frozen water), Lake Tanganyika (18,900 km3), Lake Superior (11,600 km3) and Lake Malawi (7,725 km3).The proportion of the total water that is fresh and not frozen is very small, around 0.003 percent of all the water in the world.


Where is almost two thirds of earth fresh water located?

According to the Fresh Water entry in Wikipedia:- Out of all the water on Earth, only 2.75 percent is fresh water, including 2.05 percent frozen in Glaciers, 0.68 percent as Groundwaterand 0.011 percent of it as Surface_waterin lakes and rivers.Freshwater lakes, most notably Lake_Baikalin Russia and the Great_Lakes_(North_Americain North America, contain seven-eighths of this fresh surface water. Swamps have most of the balance with only a small amount in rivers, most notably the Amazon_River.The atmosphere contains 0.04% water. In areas with no fresh water on the ground surface, fresh water derived from precipitation may, because of its lower density, overlie saline ground water in lenses or layers.Most of the world's fresh water is frozen in Ice_sheets.
