What percentage of earth is made of rivers?
A negligible percentage, significantly less than 1%. Rivers occur only of the surface of the earth, around 70% of which is oceans. Rivers occupy a tine proportion of the remaining surface. Compared to the radius of the earth their depth is negligible so that they occupy a minuscule proportion of the earth's volume.
What breaks down earths surface?
Primarily the erosive power of wind and water. Rivers and rain will wear away even the hardest stone.
How much of the planet Earth is made up of water?

Where is all of the water on or near earths surface?
Most of earth's surface water is in the oceans. The second largest bodies are the polar ice caps. Groundwater (water below the surface) exceeds that in all earth's freshwater lakes, rivers, and streams--which account for the remainder of earth's surface water.
How much percentage of the earth is covered by the hydrosphere?
Approximately 71% of the Earth's surface is covered by the hydrosphere, which includes all forms of water such as oceans, lakes, rivers, and glaciers. This makes water the most abundant substance on Earth.
What percentage of Earth makes up the hydrosphere?
75% of the Earth's surface makes up the hydrosphere.
What source of most water evaporates from earths surface?
Water is evaporated from oceans, seas, lakes, rivers.

What percentage of earths surface is covered by water?

What that moves over earths surface when it rains is called?
Water which moves over the earths surface after having precipitated (rain, snow, etc) is known as runoff. Most rivers get the majority of their water from precipitation runoff.
