Answerr the following questions. Distribution of fresh water is highly uneven in the world . Justify this statement
Answers
Answer:
the distribution of water on the earth surface is extremely and ever only 3% of water on the surface is fresh the remaining 97% residesin the ocean of freshwater 69% reside in glaciers 30% underground and less than 1% is located in lakes ,river and s w a m p s
Fresh water is available
69% in glaciers
30% in groundwater
and only 1% in ponds,swamps and rivers
Now since glaciers contain most of the fresh water in the world the concentration of fresh water would certainly be more at the polar region and other such cold places.
As for ground water , only places that receive rainfall would have enough ground water for consumption and rainfall only falls in certain regions. These regions would have moderate amount of fresh water and are concentrated in the tropical zone.
Ponds,rivers and swamps are highly uneven around the world and hence fresh water would be highly uneven around the world.
These are the possible reason of uneven distribution of fresh water around the world
