Approximately 2.5% of the Earth's total water supply is freshwater, with the majority of this found in glaciers and ice caps. Only a small fraction of this freshwater is easily accessible for human use in the form of lakes, rivers, and groundwater.

Why is dry-cleaning not really dry?

Dry cleaning uses a liquid solvent instead of water to clean clothes, so the process is not truly "dry." The solvent removes stains and dirt without water, hence the name. After the cleaning process, the solvent is extracted and the clothes are dried, leaving them clean and fresh.


What are the three physical states of ocean waters?

Oceans consist of mainly liquid (salt water of various salinities) but also contain the solid form (ice) which is fresh water, and the air above the water contains a gaseousform, water vapor, also fresh water which has evaporated from the surface.*There is also water vapor (steam) around heated vents on the ocean floor that are associated with volcanic fissures.


What is the densest cold salt water warm salt water cold fresh water warm fresh water?

Cold Salt Water is the densest. When there is less heat in a liquid, the particles are closer together. The salt also saturates the water and makes it even denser. That's why boats float better in Cold Salt Water than in Warm Fresh Water. P.S. Next time, put commas between the options. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sources: Grade 8 Science


How does condensation remove salt from water?

Condensation removes salt from water through a process called distillation. When water evaporates and then condenses back into liquid form, the salt is left behind in the original container, allowing for the separation of fresh water from salt water.
