Since the water that melts is classified as "fresh". the polar ice represents about 50% of the world supply of fresh water. Overall the polar ice is about 2% of all water.
Approximately 68.7% of the world's freshwater is contained in glaciers and ice caps, with the majority of this frozen water located at the poles. This frozen water plays a crucial role in regulating global climate and sea levels.
Approximately 70% of the world's freshwater is frozen in the ice sheets of Antarctica and Greenland. This represents about 2% of the total water on Earth.
Around 68.7% of Earth's freshwater is locked up in ice caps, glaciers, and permanent snow at the poles.
is stored in ice caps and glaciers, 30 percent is groundwater, and less than 1 percent is surface water like lakes and rivers. This freshwater is essential for supporting ecosystems, agriculture, and human survival.

Only about 1.7% of the world's total water is trapped in glaciers and ice caps, but about 68.7% of fresh water on Earth is frozen in them.
no. but most of earths fresh water is.
Frozen in the icecaps (in the form of ice at the poles).
Around 68.7% of Earth's freshwater is locked up in ice caps, glaciers, and permanent snow at the poles.
Two planets have frozen ice caps: Earth and Mars. In November 2012 scientists found evidence of ice on the poles of Mercury. However, only the Earth has oceans.
No, Groundwater makes up about twenty percent of the world's fresh water supply, which is roughly equal to the total amount of freshwater stored in the snow and ice pack, including the north and south poles.
Because the earth pivots back and forth depending on the season so the poles never get the same amount of sunlight
not that we know of, the ice at the poles is mainly frozen Co2, or "dry ice".
