How much of the planet Earth is made up of water?
Surprisingly little. Water covers a little under three-quarters of Earth's surface, but it's almost all on (or just below) the surface, so a relatively tiny fraction of Earth is water.
What types of water make up fresh water on earth?
Fresh water on Earth primarily consists of surface water in the form of rivers, lakes, and streams, as well as groundwater stored in aquifers. Other sources of fresh water include ice caps and glaciers. These types of water collectively make up the freshwater resources on Earth.

What percentage of the Antarctica is made up of water?
Antarctica is a continent -- the driest on earth. It is, however, covered by an ice sheet that contains about 90% of the earth's ice and about 70% of the earth's fresh water. Otherwise, it is land.
What is the percentage of saltwater?
