in the ocean
Ice caps are made of fresh water. When this ice melts into the ocean, it contributes to the salinity of the water in that area.
Earth's available fresh water is located in various sources such as lakes, rivers, underground aquifers, and glaciers. The largest percentage of fresh water is found in glaciers and ice caps, while the most accessible sources for human use are rivers and underground aquifers.
Most of the fresh water on Earth is stored in glaciers and ice caps, particularly in Antarctica and Greenland. Approximately 68.7% of the world's fresh water is locked away in these frozen reserves. The remaining fresh water is found in groundwater, surface water bodies like rivers and lakes, and in the atmosphere. This makes glaciers and ice caps the largest reservoir of fresh water, significantly influencing global water availability.
About 3% of the water on Earth is fresh. Only about .1% of the fresh water is visible on land. About 75% of the fresh water is locked in glaciers and ice caps. Then about 24.9% of the fresh water is underground.
40% 2nd Answer: More like 69% of the Earth's FRESH water is frozen in the two polar ice caps. The ice at the very bottom of the south polar ice cap is as much as 100,000 years old. It is also about 2.3 thousand meters below sea level.
In ice.
About 70-80 percent of fresh water can be found in polar ice caps and glaciers.
in fresh water rivers where most waterfalls are
Most of Earth's fresh water is found in glaciers and ice caps.
In a freshwater lake or ice
Most of Earth's fresh surface water is found in glaciers and ice caps, with about 68.7% of it stored in these ice formations. Another significant portion is found in lakes, which contain about 20.9% of the planet's fresh surface water.
Only about 3% of Earth's water is fresh. Two percent of the Earth's water (about 66% of all fresh water) is in solid form, found in ice caps and glaciers. Because it is frozen and so far away, the fresh water in ice caps is not available for use by people or plants. That leaves about 1% of all the Earth's water in a form usable to humans and land animals. This fresh water is found in lakes, rivers, streams, ponds, and in the ground. (A small amount of water is found as vapor in the atmosphere.)
3%
Fresh water? Well most fresh water is frozen in polar ice caps. But the largets fresh water lake is Lake Bakal in Russia. I do hope you meant freshwater.
75% of the Earths FRESH water is located in the Antarctic.
Roughly 0.3% of the Earth's fresh water is found in surface water sources like rivers, lakes, and streams. The majority of fresh water is actually stored in ice caps and glaciers.
Less than 1% of Earth's water is fresh water that is suitable for drinking and use. The majority of this fresh water is found in glaciers and ice caps, with the remaining amount found in lakes, rivers, and underground aquifers.
