most of the water on earth is not fit for drinking because most of it is contained in the seas which is saline and is not fit for humansome of the water is contained in oceans,rivers,lakes and ponds.some water is in the form of ice ,ground water and in the atmosphere.only a small amount of water is left for human consumption
What else can I help you with?
Why is only a small part of the hydrosphere available for humans to drink?
Most of the water on Earth is in the form of saltwater in oceans, making it undrinkable without desalination. Freshwater sources like rivers, lakes, and groundwater make up a small percentage of the total water on Earth, and only a fraction of that is accessible for human consumption due to contamination and pollution.
Does tar float or sink in saltwater?
Tar is less dense than saltwater, so it will float on the surface of saltwater.
What is a solute and solevent in a saltwater solution?

What is the term for water that is a mixture of freshwater and saltwater?

Why does iron corrode faster in saltwater?
Iron corrodes faster in saltwater due to the presence of free ions in the saltwater, which accelerates the electrochemical process of corrosion. The chloride ions in saltwater are particularly corrosive and can penetrate the protective layer on the surface of iron, allowing the metal to react with oxygen and water more easily, leading to accelerated corrosion.
What are the densities of freshwater and saltwater?
the densities are different (Saltwater has a greater density than freshwater.)
Why is most of Earth's water is undrinkable?
Most of Earth's water is undrinkable because it is in the form of saltwater in the oceans. Saltwater is not suitable for human consumption without desalination, which is a costly and energy-intensive process. Additionally, other sources of water, such as ice caps and glaciers, are frozen and not readily available for drinking.
What makes saltwater?
salt
What are two results of overuse of groundwater?
Two results of overuse of groundwater are depletion of aquifers, leading to lowered water tables and potential land subsidence, and saltwater intrusion into freshwater sources, making the water undrinkable.
What is the percent ratio of freshwater to percent saltwater on Earth?
Freshwater makes up about 2.5% of the total water on Earth, while saltwater makes up about 97.5%.
Does saltwater make mascara run faster?
Yes, saltwater makes mascara run faster. Just like when you cry, those tears are a type of saltwater.
How does saltwater effect different animals?
it makes it hard for the animals to breath
How long before a keg goes bad and becomes undrinkable?

How long does it take for a keg to go bad and become undrinkable?
A keg typically stays fresh for about 6-8 weeks before it starts to go bad and become undrinkable.
What is the percentage of bad water in the world?
53% of water is undrinkable
Where does the salt come from that makes saltwater salty?
Rivers carry dissolved salts to the seas
What is saltwater used for?
Saltwater is used in various industries such as in the production of seafood, desalination for drinking water, and in saltwater aquariums for aquatic animals. Additionally, saltwater is used in some health and beauty products for its mineral content.
