Answer:
Approximately 2% of the total ‘freshwater on earth’ is available in the form of ice in ‘icebergs and glaciers’.
Explanation:
Fresh water is the water that is found anywhere on Earth except the sea or the brackish water. The main source of fresh water is rain and snow. This snow gets trapped as ice in ‘glaciers and icebergs’. The Earth consists of 97% water and only about 2.75% is ‘fresh water’.
From this percentage approximately 2% is only available in the form of ice in icebergs and glaciers. This water is hardly accessible as it remains frozen most of the time. It helps in maintaining the water balance on Earth.
