Less than 1 percent of Earth's water is ready for use by humans. Earth is approximately 71 percent water but of all this water only about 2.5 percent is fresh water with the rest being salt water and thus not fit for human consumption. Of the 2.5 percent fresh water the majority of this is frozen in the polar icecaps, present in soil moisture or deep underground where it is out of reach.
Approximately 67.8% of earth's surface is covered by salt water while only 3% is covered by fresh water. In total, the earth's surface is covered by 70.8% of water.
only 3% is fresh water
66.6%
By 2% it means 2% of the entire earth's water is fresh water and the rest is salt water, mineral water, etc. the two percent are the lakes, streams, rivers, aquifers, and yes, groundwater- any source of fresh water on the earth...it makes me suddenly feel thirsty
There is about 70 Percent of water that is covering the entire earth!
About seventy five percent of the earth has ocean water.
About 30 percent of earth is land and 70 percent is water.
about 40 percent!!!!!!!!!!!
About 70% of the surface is covered by water.
Seventy one percent of earth's surface is water -- salt water. The ice sheet in Antarctica holds about seventy percent of earth's fresh water.
About 70% of the Earth is covered in water.
71%
Not very much, really. If all the water on or in Earth were gathered together, it would be enough to make a "drop" about 680 miles in diameter. That sounds like a lot, but the Earth itself is about eight thousand miles in diameter... so even by volume, water is less than 0.1% of the Earth, and by mass it's even less (since most of the Earth is either rock or metal, both of which are heavier than an equivalent volume of water).
70 percent
About 97% of the Earth's water is salt water found in oceans and seas.
None of the above. About 70 percent of the earth is covered by water.
