By Precipitation like rain and snow fall. Wnen the sun evaporates water from the sea then the minerals mixed with the water left behind in the sea and only the fresh water go up as gas. And then fall as fresh water(rain). then it goes under the ground. while going underground the soil and rock filters it. so earth's fresh water comes from ground water. "I Guess"
Only 2.5 percent of the water found on Earth is freshwater. It comes from ice that melts and some of it is in the ground.
Under the Earth but occasionally it comes up in springs
Mostly in Antarctica. 3% of the world's water is FRESH water. But, therefore, ONLY 1% of it is actually drinkable. Fresh water is stored in the glaciers of Antarctica, Greenland etc, icebergs, shallow ground water, and lakes and rivers.
true
we should save water because there is only 3% of fresh water left and most of it is in glaciers
The density of ice is about 0.917 of that of fresh water.Essentially all the world's ice is locked up in the Antarctic, and it is likewise essentially the total volume of fresh water on Earth.It is ~ 3 - 4 % of the Earths total water, of which most is in the Oceans.The volume of the Oceans is about 1.3x109km3. So 3 or 4 % of that volume is the volume of earth's ice. I'm sure your calculator can handle the calculation.It is not worth making the correction for the manner in which ice expands when it freezes, for the numbers are necessarily approximate.
no. but most of earths fresh water is.
Salt Water
In the glaciers
Because we are still in an era of Glaciation meaning most of earth fresh water is in Ice form as Glaciers.
Glaciers. Or frozen ice caps.
Under the Earth but occasionally it comes up in springs
Mostly North America, with the artic being filled with fresh water and fresh water iceburgs. But, fresh water is scattered throughout the world.
You can at least use 1/4 of the water on Earth, but at most, 3/4 of it.
Only about 1.7% of earths water is drinkable fresh water, so conserve it! Most of the fresh water is found in glaciers
fresh
Most of Earth's fresh water is locked up in glaciers. "Supply" would reference rivers and lakes.
Most of earth's fresh water is in the form of ice.Remember that more than 70% of the planet is covered with water -- sea water, making up about 96.5% of earth's water.
