What is Water that falls to earths surface from the atmosphere as rain snow sleet or hail?
Water from precipitation that stays on the surface, such as in lakes or streams is "surface water." Water which is absorbed into the ground (and stored in aquifers) is "ground water."
What is the difference ground water and surface water?
Surface water consists of all water that is naturally exposed to the atmosphere including creeks, ponds, rivers, lakes, reservoirs, seas and oceans. Also in this category are springs and wells that are directly influenced by surface water sources. Groundwater is water found beneath the Earth's surface that gradually seeped down by saturating soil or rock. This water is stored in underground crevices and in the pores of rocks and other materials beneath the surface.
How is water stored in the atmosphere?
Water is stored in the atmosphere in the form of water vapor.
Where is most of earths water stored?
Most water is stored in the oceans. However, the most freshwater is stored in glaciers. To the person whose answer I'm editing, a reservoir is anything that holds water, so of course that's where water's stored.
Where is the majority of the earths fresh water stored?
Glaciers and icecaps.about 2/3 of Earth's fresh water is stored in polar ice caps and glaciers, while the rest are in freshwater streams and rivers running towards the ocean.Under ground****************The largest percentage of SURFACE fresh water is stored in the polar ice caps. If you would like your water as a liquid, go to the Great Lakes- they contain 21% of the world's surface fresh water.The ice caps, namely the North and South Pole. Most fresh water is frozen solid. The largest reservoirs of liquid fresh water on earth are the Great Lakes.In the polar ice caps
