Glaciers cover nearly 10% of Earth's land surface.
Glaciers often push earth and rock from beneath themselves as they move forward. Many natural lakes were formed by glaciers carving the earth as they passed.

The rest of the water is groundwater(underground water) or frozen water(icebergs, glaciers). It could also be freshwater(streams,rivers)

about 69% of Earths fresh water is in glaciers.
it is 28% of the world was covered by glaciers. 28% of the earth was covered by Glaciers during the Ice Age.
During the most recent ice age, glaciers covered about 30% of the Earth's land area.
During the peak of the last ice age, approximately 30% of Earth's surface was covered by glaciers. These glaciers were part of massive ice sheets that extended over North America, Europe, and Asia.
No. Only a fairly small percentage of Earth's land is covered by glaciers. However, about 75% of the surface is covered by water.
2.05% of Earth's water can be found in glaciers and ice caps. This frozen water plays a crucial role in regulating the planet's climate and sea levels.
About 69% of Earth's fresh water is stored in glaciers and ice caps.
Approximately 68.7% of the freshwater on Earth is frozen in polar ice caps, glaciers, and permanent snow.
2 percent of all Earth's water exists in the form of ice caps and glaciers, primarily located in Antarctica and Greenland.
