Which earth system can you find animals?
Animals--along with plants, fungi and all other living organisms--are found in earth's biosphere. This simply refers to everything on the planet which is alive. All organisms in the biosphere are dependant on and connected to each other and the rest of earth's systems. Other earth systems include the atmosphere, geosphere and hydrosphere. Could there be a biosphere if any one of these systems were eliminated?

Is it true that most of Earth's water is salt water?
Most of the water on Earth (other than in mineral hydrates) is saltwater, about 97% of it. Oceans are salt water. The other 3% is fresh water, but 67% of that fresh water is in the ice caps. That only leaves about 1% of the total water as usable fresh water. But that is still a vast amount of water, enough to fill aquifers, streams, rivers, and lakes.
How is fresh water both a renewable and a limited resource?
Its renewable because the ecosystem collects and purifies the fresh water. Its limited because the earth is only made up of 3% of fresh water and most of the other half is locked up in ice at the Poles.
