It's actually the salty oceans, because the sun evaporates fresh water from the oceans; it forms into clouds; the clouds blow over the land and drop the fresh water as rain. It collects into rivers and lakes and dams and then into our houses. Fresh!
The Precipitation stage of water cycle provides fresh water to the aquifiers. It is one of the major source of fresh water on earth.
lakes. because the question asks for a fresh water source.
The major source of water on Earth is the oceans, which hold about 97% of the planet's water. Other sources include rivers, lakes, glaciers, and groundwater.
Earth's greatest source of fresh water is glaciers and ice caps, which hold approximately 68% of the world's freshwater. When these glaciers melt, the water flows into rivers and lakes, providing a crucial source of freshwater for humans and ecosystems.
earth's fresh water can be found in rainfall
Most of the water on earth is salt water.
Sorry for this short answer... Earth. A briny water ecosystem can contain both salt and fresh water, though it is all mixed together. These ecosystems are where a fresh water source, such as a river, meets a salt water source, such as an ocean. River deltas commonly have briny water.
The Antarctic ice sheet stores about 70% of the earth's fresh water and about 90% of the earth's ice. The ice sheet is not considered a source of water.
Fresh water - i.e. that on land - yes, to all intents and purposes is from the condensation and precipitation of water evaporated from the sea. A relatively tiny amount of water is released by volcanoes above subduction zones, but otherwise, the question's thesis is basically correct.
Assuming you mean "How much of the water on Earth is fresh water", about 5% of the water on the Earth is fresh water, as opposed to about 95% salt water. To anser your question directly though, 100% of the fresh water we know about is on Earth. There is some water on other celestial bodies, but I wouldn't exactly call it fresh water.
3% of the earths water, is fresh water
only 3% is fresh water
