In this question, we are asked to tell explain the distribution of water on the earth.
- Water is dispersed quite unevenly throughout the surface of the Earth.
- Fresh water makes up only 3% of the water on the surface; the other 97% is found in the ocean.
- Less than 1% of freshwater is found in lakes, rivers, and marshes, while 69% of it is found in glaciers and 30% is found underground.
- By another measure, only 1% of the water on Earth's surface is suitable for human use, and 99% of that water is found underground.
- The oceans contain over 96.5 percent of the planet's total water, covering about 71 percent of its surface.
- Water also resides in the ground as soil moisture and in aquifers, in the air as water vapor, in rivers, lakes, icecaps, glaciers, and even inside of you and your body.
