The majority of Earth's fresh water is locked up in polar ice caps and glaciers. Only a small fraction of fresh water is found in lakes, rivers, and underground sources.
About 69% of Earth's fresh water is stored in glaciers and ice caps.
Earth's greatest source of fresh water is glaciers and ice caps, which hold approximately 68% of the world's freshwater. When these glaciers melt, the water flows into rivers and lakes, providing a crucial source of freshwater for humans and ecosystems.
Approximately 2.5% of Earth's water is fresh water, of which only about 0.5% is readily accessible for use by living organisms. The majority of fresh water is stored in glaciers, ice caps, and deep underground aquifers.
Most of the Earth's fresh water is locked up in glaciers and ice caps at the polar regions. This frozen water plays a crucial role in regulating global climate and sea levels.
They probably get the water from the melted water from iceburgs and glaciers.
They contain the earths large amount of fresh water
The majority of Earth's fresh water is locked up in polar ice caps and glaciers. Only a small fraction of fresh water is found in lakes, rivers, and underground sources.
About 69% of Earth's fresh water is stored in glaciers and ice caps.
Because we are still in an era of Glaciation meaning most of earth fresh water is in Ice form as Glaciers.
In the Polar ice caps, about 69% of the worlds fresh water is in them.

no. only 3% of all the Earths water is fresh water(2% is in glaciers in the Arctic).
No, we don't find salt in iceburgs. Iceburgs may have salt on the outside as they are in contact with seawater. But iceburgs originally form when snow piles up on glaciers and turns into ice, and then that ice breaks off (calves) to float freely. In the polar areas, the sea freezes over, and then snow covers the ice and builds up to become ice and then break free to form bergs. Icebergs are fresh water ice.
there is 45 million gallons of fresh water in glaciers
Mostly North America, with the artic being filled with fresh water and fresh water iceburgs. But, fresh water is scattered throughout the world.
Approximately 2.5% of Earth's water is fresh water, of which only about 0.5% is readily accessible for use by living organisms. The majority of fresh water is stored in glaciers, ice caps, and deep underground aquifers.
