Of the earth available fresh water what percent is frozen at the pole?
75%
How much of the earth is ready for use by humans?
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.
Oceans contain 97 percent of the earth's water where is the majority of the rest of the water?
The rest of the water is groundwater(underground water) or frozen water(icebergs, glaciers). It could also be freshwater(streams,rivers)

A bit less than 2% of the worlds water is frozen. Antarctica accounts for about 80% of the worlds fresh water.
What percent of the earths fresh water is frozen poles?
Only about 1.7% of the world's total water is trapped in glaciers and ice caps, but about 68.7% of fresh water on Earth is frozen in them.
What percent of Earth's water is in Antarctica?

How much of the hydroshpere is ice?
