the total amount of water in the earth is decreasing.
Answero:
The amunt of water on EArth is essentially constant. It is however not in the same location or quality over time. Water evaporates from tohe oceans, becomes contaminated in the soil, precipitates ot as ice and snw for long term storage, is created by fires, relased by volcanoes and disappears into the groundwater aquifers.
0.03%
Most of Earth's total water supply is found in the oceans, which contain about 97% of the planet's water. The remaining 3% is found in glaciers, ice caps, groundwater, lakes, rivers, and in the atmosphere.
Roughly 2.5% of Earth's total water supply is usable fresh water, with the majority of it locked up in glaciers, ice caps, and groundwater.
Hydrological (water) cycle.
it is earth's water supply
The Antarctic Icecap contains about 70% of the world's fresh water supply in the form of ice. This makes it the largest reserve of fresh water on Earth.
just about 95% of the Earth is water
Approximately 0.3% of the Earth's total water supply is fresh liquid water available for human consumption and use. This freshwater is found in rivers, lakes, and groundwater sources. The majority of Earth's water is saline and found in oceans and seas.
The total amount of Earths total water supply that is usable fresh water is less then two percent. The rest is salt water or pond water.
