Where is more than two-thirds of Earth and freshwater stored?
More than two-thirds of Earth's freshwater is stored in glaciers and ice caps, primarily in Antarctica and Greenland. Additionally, a significant portion is found underground in aquifers. Only a small fraction of freshwater is accessible in rivers and lakes for direct human use.
Why is it only 3 percent freshwater?
Only about 3 percent of the Earth's water is freshwater because the vast majority, approximately 97 percent, is saltwater found in oceans. Freshwater is primarily stored in glaciers, ice caps, and underground aquifers, with a small portion in rivers and lakes. The distribution of freshwater is also influenced by the hydrological cycle, which dictates how water is stored, evaporated, and precipitated. This limited availability underscores the importance of sustainable water management practices.
What are the names of the five habitats?
The five main habitats are forests, grasslands, deserts, freshwater, and marine environments. Each habitat supports distinct ecosystems with unique plant and animal species adapted to their specific conditions. Forests are characterized by dense tree coverage, grasslands have open spaces with grasses, deserts are arid regions with sparse vegetation, freshwater habitats include rivers and lakes, and marine environments encompass oceans and seas.

Where is most of earths freshwater supply?
Most of Earth's freshwater supply is stored in glaciers and ice caps, particularly in Antarctica and Greenland. Groundwater and surface water sources such as rivers, lakes, and streams also contribute to Earth's freshwater supply.
More than two thirds of earth's fresh water is found in?
76% (more than two thirds) of Earth's freshwater is found in any ice on Earth. (ex. glaciers) 23% of freshwater is found in groundwater 12% of the groundwater is "shallow ground water" 11% of the groundwater is "deep ground water" 0.34% of Earth's freshwater is found in rivers, streams, and lakes 0.037% of freshwater is found in water vapor
Why aren't the Great Lakes salty?
The Great Lakes are not salty because they are filled with freshwater from rivers and streams, and are not connected to the ocean.
