About 71% of the Earth's surface is covered by water, which translates to approximately 7.1 tenths. This includes oceans, seas, lakes, and rivers, with the vast majority being saltwater in the oceans. The remaining 29% of the surface is land.
1/10 because 9/10 and 1/10 make 1 (a whole, in this case a whole iceberg).
97% of the worlds water is Salt water. 71% of the world is Covered by Saltwater.
Seven-tenths of Earth's fresh water is primarily found in glaciers and ice caps, particularly in Greenland and Antarctica. This significant portion is not readily accessible for human use, as it is locked in ice. Only a small fraction of fresh water is available in rivers, lakes, and underground aquifers for consumption and irrigation. Therefore, while seven-tenths represents a large quantity, the actual usable fresh water is much less.
The floating paper clip and tissue paper demonstrate the principles of surface tension and density. The paper clip, although denser than water, can float due to surface tension, which creates a "skin" on the water's surface that supports the weight of the clip. In contrast, the tissue paper is less dense and absorbs water, causing it to become saturated and sink. This experiment highlights how surface tension can counteract gravity under certain conditions.
I thought the figure was seven-tenths, which is close to five-eighths...
About seven tenths if 71.1% of the earths surface is underwater and wow I am surprised nobody figured that out and answered this
70.78
Desert
It contains one-fifth of the worlds fresh surfacewateer!
fresh flowing surface water is one of our most precious resources
the water cycle shows arrow under surface
Nine tenths (9/10) of an iceberg is underwater.
No, they lay them on the surface of the water.
No. Though about 7/10 of the surface is covered in water it makes up about 1/50 of the mass of the earth
not on the surface but might be some under the surface of the planet...??
Surface water. However the water in a river is usually lelvel with the water table.
Most of the earths surface is covered with water. There is land under that water though, below the surface.
