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"
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
Because we are still in an era of Glaciation meaning most of earth fresh water is in Ice form as Glaciers.
Most of Earth's fresh water is stored in glaciers and ice caps, accounting for about 68.7%. The remaining fresh water is primarily found in groundwater (30.1%) and a small fraction in surface water such as lakes, rivers, and streams.
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.
The majority of Earth's fresh water is locked up in polar ice caps and glaciers. Only a small fraction of fresh water is found in lakes, rivers, and underground sources.
Most of Earth's fresh water is not usable because it is trapped in glaciers, ice caps, and underground aquifers. Additionally, pollution and contamination from human activities make much of the remaining fresh water unsuitable for consumption without extensive treatment.
Only about 1.7% of earths water is drinkable fresh water, so conserve it! Most of the fresh water is found in glaciers
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.
because most of the earths water is salt water and there us only 2.5% of fresh water on the earth =D
