What percentage of world's freshwater is stored as glacial ice?
About 3% of the water on Earth is fresh. Only about .1% of the fresh water is visible on land. About 75% of the fresh water is locked in glaciers and ice caps. Then about 24.9% of the fresh water is underground.
What percentage of the earth's freshwater supply is in the two polar ice caps together?
99% of the worlds freshwater is locked up in the polar ice sheets.
Why can't you get water from ice caps?
it's because ice caps are frozen.
WhWhat percentage of Earth's water is fresh water?
About 3% and only 1% is able to be drank. The rest is frozen in ice caps and glaciers.
What planet has polar ice caps 100 percent water ice?
The planet Mars has polar ice caps that are composed of nearly 100 percent water ice. These ice caps shrink and expand with the changing seasons on Mars.
How much fresh water is stored in ice caps?

What is most of the earths fresh water locked up in?
Glaciers. Or frozen ice caps.

99% of the worlds freshwater is locked up in the polar ice sheets.
What percentage of earth's water is useable water?
About 3% of water is fresh and usable, but 3/4 of that 3% are in the ice caps and glaciers.
Fresh water in frozen glaciers and ice caps makes up what percentage of the total amount of fresh water on earth?
about 66%

The planet Mars has polar ice caps that are composed of nearly 100 percent water ice. These ice caps shrink and expand with the changing seasons on Mars.
What is the percentage of water is fresh water?
About 3 percent (2.75%) of the total water on Earth is fresh water, and as much as 75% of that is locked up as ice in glaciers and polar caps. Most of the rest is ground water. The water vapor in the air constitutes 4 times as much water as all of the surface freshwater on the planet (0.04 % vs 0.01 %).
Was there water flowing on Mars?
No, but there is ice in the caps.
Why does the melting of ice caps lower the concentration of salt in the ocean?
The ice in ice caps is all water. Add that to sea water and the sea will be come more dilute. If you add ice cubes to your Pepsi, it too will be come dilute.
