What is water percentage?
The average water percentage in the human body is around 60%. This percentage can vary based on factors such as age, gender, and body composition. Staying hydrated is important for overall health and bodily functions.
How is ocean water different from fresh water?
Ocean water has a higher salinity level due to the presence of dissolved salts, while fresh water has a lower salinity level. Ocean water is also denser and can support different types of marine life compared to fresh water ecosystems. Additionally, ocean water covers a much larger percentage of the Earth's surface compared to fresh water.
Why is the hydrologic water cycle essential for life?
The hydrologic water cycle is essential for life because it ensures a continuous supply of fresh water on Earth. It helps in maintaining ecosystems, supporting plant growth, and providing drinking water for humans and animals. Without the water cycle, life as we know it would not be sustainable.
How much fresh water is in glaciers?
Water resources are sources of water that are useful or potentially useful to humans. Uses of water include agricultural, industrial, household, recreational and environmental activities. Virtually all of these human uses require fresh water.97% of water on the Earth is salt water, leaving only 3% as fresh water of which slightly over two thirds is frozen in glaciers and polar ice caps. The remaining unfrozen freshwater is mainly found as groundwater, with only a small fraction present above ground or in the air.Fresh water is a renewable resource, yet the world's supply of clean, fresh water is steadily decreasing. Water demand already exceeds supply in many parts of the world and as the world population continues to rise, so too does the water demand. Awareness of the global importance of preserving water for ecosystem services has only recently emerged as, during the 20th century, more than half the world's wetlands have been lost along with their valuable environmental services. Biodiversity-rich freshwater ecosystems are currently declining faster than marine or land ecosystems. The framework for allocating water resources to water users (where such a framework exists) is known as water rights.
What planet is made up of minerals organic minerals and water?
As far as we know, Earth.
How much percent of fresh water lies on earth?
Assuming you mean "How much of the water on Earth is fresh water", about 5% of the water on the Earth is fresh water, as opposed to about 95% salt water. To anser your question directly though, 100% of the fresh water we know about is on Earth. There is some water on other celestial bodies, but I wouldn't exactly call it fresh water.
What is water percentage?

What percent of the world is oceans?
75% of Earth is water... 97% of the water is salt water... So if you know how much water is on Earth multiply that by .75 then multiply your answer by .97...There's the answer to your question whether you wanted a mathematical number or a percent.
Were is most of earths fresh water located?
Under the Earth but occasionally it comes up in springs
How much salinity is in fresh water?
I don't know how much salinity is in fresh water.
Is the Indian ocean a salt water ocean?
All four oceans are saltwater come on now. Well, how were we suppose to know? Come on now is a bit rude, I agree with the person for asking the question, it is okay to ask that. I didn't know. I know today that there are four oceans, the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, and Arctic. There are fresh water lakes in Alaska, and Arctic the north pole, and Antarctica south pole are salty but their glaciers are fresh water. Salt water is dense but at 1.8 degrees negative c, the salt expels and the frozen water is fresh. the south pole contains 70 percent of the worlds fresh water, and 90 percent of the worlds ice.
What does fresh water have in it?
i don't know maybe water?
How can we plan to share the finite amount of our planet's fresh water when we can't know what future people will need?
The Earth's fresh water is finite, but it is also infinitely recyclable. Furthermore, in the future, more and more of our water will be obtained from the oceans through desalinization.
How much of the worlds water is polluted?
0.00034 percent.
Is the water in Antarctica salt water?
The Southern Ocean that surrounds Antarctica is salt water, the saltiest ocean water on earth. The ice sheet that covers 98% of the Antarctic continent is fresh water -- the store of 60%-70% of all the fresh water on earth
Which water dissolveds faster fresh salt or tap?
i don't know if its fresh or salty but i think it's fresh
How many Gallons of water in the sea?
According to one source ("How Stuff Works") It is estimated that there are about 326,000,000,000,000,000,000 (three hundred and twenty-six million trillion) gallons of water on Earth, including the oceans, rivers, lakes, underwater springs and wells, the ice caps, atmospheric vapour, and the fluids in your body (and in everything else, too). The oceans cover about 72% of the Earth's surface, but constitute about 98% of the Earth's water, so less than two percent of the world's water is actually 'fresh' (ie- drinkable), and with three quarters of this locked up in the ice caps and majority of what's left being underground, only a very tiny fraction of the world's water makes up rivers, lakes, and ponds.
