What are the different types of glaciers?
Ice Sheets Ice Shelves Ice Caps Ice Streams/Outlet Glaciers Icefields Mountain Glaciers Valley Glaciers Piedmont Glaciers Cirque Glaciers Hanging Glaciers Tidewater Glaciers
How much water is stored in polar ice caps glaciers and permanent snow?
1.7 percent
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.
Do glaciers cover 70 percent of earths land?
No. Only a fairly small percentage of Earth's land is covered by glaciers. However, about 75% of the surface is covered by water.
How much of the earths water is fresh?
Earth's freshwater can be found in many places. More than 68 percent is in icecaps and glaciers, 30 percent in ground water, and 0.3 percent in rivers, lakes, and swamps.

What percentage of Earth's water is found in glaciers?
About 1.7 percent (and falling, as many glaciers are melting due to climate change).
What percent of earth's fresh water is trapped in frozen icecaps and glaciers?

Match the approximate percentage of the world's water to where it is stored?
Salt water: 97 percent Ice caps and glaciers: 2 percent Fresh liquid water: 1 percent -Apex- :)
What is the percent of freshwater?
Earth is made up of about 70 percent water, but less than 3 percent of that water is fresh water. Fresh water is found in ice caps, glaciers, streams, and rivers.
What are the different types of glaciers?
Ice Sheets Ice Shelves Ice Caps Ice Streams/Outlet Glaciers Icefields Mountain Glaciers Valley Glaciers Piedmont Glaciers Cirque Glaciers Hanging Glaciers Tidewater Glaciers
Who much the world water is available for human use?
98 percent is salt water, so we can not drink that. So then you have 2 percent. But 1 percent of that is in glaciers. So we have access to about 1 percent.
Where is 2 percent of earths water?
It is in frozen form - as the polar ice caps and glaciers.
