The earth's total percentage of water that is ice is only about 1.7%. However, earth's total percentage of freshwater is about 68.7%.
About 69% of Earth's fresh water is stored in glaciers and ice caps.
Approximately 68.7% of Earth's fresh water is stored in ice caps, glaciers, and permanent snow.
2 percent of all Earth's water exists in the form of ice caps and glaciers, primarily located in Antarctica and Greenland.
Approximately 2.5% of Earth's water is freshwater, with the majority being found in glaciers and ice caps. Only a small fraction of this freshwater is readily accessible for human use.
Fresh water in frozen glaciers and ice caps accounts for about 69% of the total amount of fresh water on earth.
About 69% of Earth's fresh water is stored in glaciers and ice caps.
It is in frozen form - as the polar ice caps and glaciers.
freshwater is 68.7% and total water is 1.9% on earth. i got this answer from explorelearning.com in the water cycle gizmo.
Ice is water. 100% water- with maybe a trace of air dissolved in it. When it melts, it becomes water again.
Approximately 68.7% of Earth's fresh water is stored in ice caps, glaciers, and permanent snow.
What percentage of earth's fresh water is stored in ice and snow?
During the recent ice age, glaciers covered almost 30 percent of earths land.
2 percent of all Earth's water exists in the form of ice caps and glaciers, primarily located in Antarctica and Greenland.
Approximately 68.7% of Earth's freshwater is stored in polar ice caps, glaciers, and permanent snow. This accounts for about 1.7% of the total water on the planet, as the majority of Earth's water (about 97.5%) is saltwater found in oceans. The remaining freshwater is primarily found in lakes, rivers, and underground aquifers.
Fresh water in frozen glaciers and ice caps accounts for about 69% of the total amount of fresh water on earth.
Approximately 2.5% of Earth's water is freshwater, with the majority being found in glaciers and ice caps. Only a small fraction of this freshwater is readily accessible for human use.
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.
