Question

In which form water locks in ice caps?

Answer 1

Answer:

The most basic difference is that sea ice forms from salty ocean water, whereas icebergs, glaciers, and lake ice form from fresh water or snow.

• Water 'locked' in iceberg  is '1.7 percent' of water.

• But with the changing atmosphere and increased global warming, the already less amount of freshwater is getting mixed with the salt water and cannot be consumed.

• Most of the freshwater on our planet is discovered in the formation of lakes, ponds, rivers, glaciers, etc
