In lakes, rivers and ponds...
How do you write 2.5 lakes in number?
2.5 lakes. Or perhaps 3 lakes since half a lake is still a lake.
Where is 97 percent of the worlds water stored?
About 97 percent of the world's water is stored in the oceans. This vast quantity is primarily saline water, which is not suitable for direct human consumption or agricultural use. The remaining freshwater is mainly found in glaciers and ice caps, while smaller amounts are present in rivers, lakes, and underground aquifers.
What are the costs of hydroelectric energy?
Hydroelectric power has been touted as the 'environmentally clean, renewable source of power.' This is subject to debate, as hydroelectric dams use turbines to generate electricity, and these turbines are spun by shafts which have blades on them. Fish which get caught in the high-pressure streams of water directed at the turbine blades usually do not survive the encounter with the blades. Also, the impoundments, or lakes, behind hydroelectric dams slow the speed of the river so much that many young fish do not survive the long swim to the ocean, where food is plentiful in comparison to rivers. Of course, dams present a complete barrior to upstream migration, unless fish ladders are in place, and even fish ladders are not 100 percent effective, as many fish are unable to locate the ladders. Salmon populations upstream of Grand Coulee Dam, which does not have fish ladders, disappeared, except for the freshwater varieties.
What is the circumference of willen lake?
The circumference of both lakes north and south is 2.75 miles
What percent of freshwater is lakes rivers and streams?
3.5%
Where would you find most of earths freshwater?
Most of Earth's freshwater is located in glaciers and ice caps, with a smaller amount stored in groundwater. Rivers, lakes, and streams make up a small percentage of Earth's total freshwater supply.
What is the name of water that flows in streams and river into the ocean and lakes?
The water that flows in streams and rivers into the ocean and lakes is called runoff or freshwater.
What percentage of earths freshwater supply does the great lakes account for?
The Great Lakes contain about 84% of North America's surface freshwater supply, which is roughly 21% of the world's surface freshwater supply.
Where does the Utricularia gibba the humped bladderwort live?
In freshwater ponds, lakes and streams.
What are the six freshwater ecosystems?
lakes,ponds,streams,some marshes,and swamps
What are four main types of freshwater ecosystems?
Streams,rivers,ponds,lakes are the four main freshwater ecosystems
What are rivers lakes and streams are part of earths?
Part of earth's hydrosphere
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.
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.
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
Rivers lakes and streams are part of the earths what?
Part of earth's hydrosphere
