Question

Describe the distribution of water on the earth's surface.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

On the earth's surface, there is 97% saline water and only 3% fresh water. In the fresh water, some part is ground water, major part is in the form of polar ice caps and glaciers and rest in the form of streams and rivers.

Only 0.03% of it is sweet water and can be used by us.

Answer 2

• Oceans covered two- thirds of the Earth's surface.
• The freshwater accounts for only about 2.7 % of the total. Nearly 70% of this occurs as rice hits and glaciers in Antarctica, Greenland and mountain regions. Only 1% of freshwater is available as ground water surface water in rivers and lakes and as water vapour in the atmosphere.
