Out of all the water on Earth, only 2.75 percent is fresh water, including 2.05 percent frozen in glaciers, 0.68 percent as groundwater and 0.011 percent of it as surface water in lakes and rivers.
it is 28% of the world was covered by glaciers. 28% of the earth was covered by Glaciers during the Ice Age.
Approximately 30% of the Earth's surface is covered by land, the remaining 70% of the surface is covered by water.
The total amount of water on Earth is estimated as about one and a third trillion cubic kilometers (1.36 x 109 km3). Of that, the vast majority ... about 97% ... is in the oceans. If you're asking instead "how much of the Earth's surface is covered by water", it's between two thirds and three quarters: about 71%.
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.
Roughly 10% of Earth's land area is covered by ice in the form of glaciers and ice caps. In addition, about 7% of the Earth's surface is covered by ice in the form of ice sheets in Antarctica and Greenland.
70% percent of the earth is covered in salt water, and 2.5% of freshwater but less then 1% of that fresh water is available for human use!!
More Than 70% but only 1% is freshwater
30.2% of Earth is covered by land
71% of the earth is covered in Hydrosphere.
About 70% of the Earth surface is covered with water, and most of that is the ocean. Only a small portion of the Earth's water is freshwater, which is found in lakes, rivers and groundwater. Freshwater is needed for drinking, farming, and washing.
Of all the water on earth, , only 2.59% is avalible as freshwater
Approximately 71% of the Earth's surface is covered by water.
71% of the earth is covered in Hydrosphere.
Around 68.7% of Earth's freshwater is currently inaccessible, as it is stored in glaciers and ice caps. This inaccessible freshwater is primarily located in Antarctica and Greenland.
it is 28% of the world was covered by glaciers. 28% of the earth was covered by Glaciers during the Ice Age.
Not very much. Freshwater makes up only about 2% of the entire Earth.
70% is covered with water
