Pollutants can be deposited onto glaciers through atmospheric processes, such as precipitation and atmospheric deposition, where airborne contaminants settle on snow and ice. As glaciers accumulate snow over time, these pollutants become trapped within the ice layers. When glaciers melt, these stored pollutants can be released back into the environment, potentially contaminating water sources and ecosystems downstream. This process highlights the long-term impact of human activities on remote and pristine environments.
What else can I help you with?
What proportion of the worlds fresh water is stored in glaciers?
65
What is the percentage of earths water is stored inn polar ice caps glaciers and permanent snow?
Approximately 68.7% of Earth's freshwater is stored in polar ice caps, glaciers, and permanent snow. This accounts for about 1.7% of the total water on the planet, as the majority of Earth's water (about 97.5%) is saltwater found in oceans. The remaining freshwater is primarily found in lakes, rivers, and underground aquifers.
Where is the majority of earths fresh water stored in glaciers icecaps and icebergs lakes plants or the atmosphere?
In the Polar ice caps, about 69% of the worlds fresh water is in them.
Where is water stored in the biosphere?
Water in the biosphere is stored in various places, including oceans, rivers, lakes, and glaciers. It is also found in the atmosphere as water vapor and in soil moisture. Additionally, water is stored within living organisms, contributing to cellular processes and biological functions. This distribution plays a crucial role in the Earth's ecosystems and climate regulation.
Do glaciers move quickly slowly or not at all?
Glaciers move slowly.
Fresh water is stored in the rainforest?

Where is the majority of the Earth's freshwater stored?
The majority of earth's freshwater (about 70% of it) is stored in glaciers and ice caps, mainly found in Antarctica and Greenland. The rest of earth's freshwater is found in lakes, streams, rivers, etc.
Where is most of the water on Earth stored?
The oceans, but to be exact the Pacific Ocean. ( I think.)
Is fresh water stored in a glacier or in the atmosphere?
probably glaciers I'm not sure
Most of Earth's water is stored?
70% of the Earth's freshwater can be found in ice caps and glaciers.
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.
Large quantities of solid water are stored in the?

1.7 percent
