3% of Earth's water is fresh and of this 3%, 69% is Ice.
Thus 97% of Earth's water is salty
and 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.

What happens to precipitation that falls on the land?
it becomes runoff.....
Precipitation that falls on land and then flows into rivers and lakes?
runoff
What percentage of precipitation falls into the ocean?
The total amount of water as a percentage of all the mass that makes up our planet is estimated at 0.023%. A little over 2/3 of the Earth is covered by water; to be more precise, the consensus is 70.8% (71%) of the surface is water, 29.2 % is land.
What do elevation precipitation wind and water effect?
The flatter the land, the more precipitation there is.
Why does the sea level fall during glacial periods?
The only way for sea levels to fall is if the water goes somewhere else. Where else could it go? It could remain on land, but only if it was frozen. That is the answer. If precipitation always falls as snow and hail and the climate is cold enough, like Antarctica, then the frozen water builds steadily up on land. More and more water comes out of the oceans and then falls frozen onto land, where it stays there.

Water falls to the land and oceans during?
Precipitation
Precipitation that falls on land and then flows into rivers and lakes?
runoff
What percentage of Africa has inadequate precipitation?
Approximately 50% of the land on earth does not receive sufficient precipitation.
Can Kangaroos land on their back?
If a kangaroo falls, it is possible for it to land on its back or side.
On a worldwide basis about what percent of precipitation that falls on the land becomes runoff?
it depends on what type of soil it is.
How does precipitation that falls on land enters bodies of water?
The water runs off mountains and other things causing run offs
How does water from precipitation make its way back to the ocean?
Evaporation of water in the oceans is later precipitated as rain or snow onto the continents. A portion of this precipitation makes its way to rivers.Precipitation

How do you create land bridges?
A land bridge is created when the earth experiences an ice age. the oceans' water evaporates, but falls as hail or snow on land. The precipitation can't flow back into the ocean, which still evaporates. This continues until all the water is evaporated, leaving the ocean floor exposed. The ocean floor is the land bridge that connects continents. from a sixth grader
What is an example of a land feauture created by water deposition?
The deposition of water (its precipitation) is called rain. Rain falls and collects in rivers, rivers carve out valleys in the land. Therefore a river valley is a land feature created by water.
In what process does water move from the air to the land?
Evaporation is the process where water moves from the air to the land.
