How much water is stored on polar icecaps glaciers and permanent snow?
The polar ice caps contain around 68.7% of the world's fresh water, in the form of ice. The ice caps and glaciers hold approximately 69% of the world's fresh water supply, with the majority of this water located in Antarctica. Many glaciers are also found in the Arctic region.
How much fresh water is stored in ice caps?
It is estimated that ice caps and glaciers contain about 68.7% of the world's fresh water supply. This frozen water is stored primarily in Greenland and Antarctica, with smaller amounts in other glaciers around the world. Melting of these ice caps contributes to global sea level rise.
How much of the earths freshwater is in the form of ice?
About 68.7% of all the freshwater on Earth is contained in glaciers and ice caps. These frozen reservoirs are crucial for regulating global water supply.
What is the biggest reservoir of water other than oceans?
I'm thinking that it may be the Mediterranean Sea but I'm not at all sure. After that is is the Polar Ice caps
Why are ice caps called polar deserts?
Ice caps are called polar deserts because they receive very little precipitation in the form of rain or snow, much like traditional deserts. Despite the presence of ice, the extremely low temperatures in these regions prevent significant snowfall, leading to a lack of liquid water and barren landscapes.
How much water is stored in polar ice caps glaciers and permanent snow?
1.7 percent

Do the polar ice caps have animals and plants?
No plants, but animals, yes: you will find much more marine life beneath these ice-caps than above them. Seals, walruses and polar bears (Arctic) and penguins (Antarctic) are found above these polar ice caps.

How much sunlight during summer solstice at the polar caps?
It ranges from 6 months at the pole to several months in the polar circle.
How much precipitation do the polar ice caps get?
So the polar ice cap gets 25 cm of rain every year.
What to ways are the king crabs affected be changes in the environment?
king crabs are affected by the changes in the ocean by the polar ice caps melting and adding to much fresh water

What is the percentage of water is fresh water?
About 3 percent (2.75%) of the total water on Earth is fresh water, and as much as 75% of that is locked up as ice in glaciers and polar caps. Most of the rest is ground water. The water vapor in the air constitutes 4 times as much water as all of the surface freshwater on the planet (0.04 % vs 0.01 %).
Does Venus have polar ice caps?
Sort of, depending on who is talking... As seen through a modestly good telescope, the poles show white caps that grow and shrink with the seasons. They are not solid caps of ice, metres or even kilometres thick, such as we have on Earth, but just a thin frost of carbon dioxide crystals ("dry ice") and water crystals (snow or hoar frost) mainly on the ground surface. There is more material underground, but not very much and not visible from off the planet. If that is what you are willing to call a planetary ice cap, then the answer is yes. If not, then bad luck! No!
How much percent of ice does mars have?
Mars has polar ice caps made of a combination of water ice and frozen carbon dioxide. These ice caps cover up to 30% of Mars' surface area, contributing to its overall cold and dry climate.
