oceans freshwater and lakes and streams cover 2/3 of earth
Yes, that's quite correct.Two thirds is four thirds less than two wholes,and two thirds is one sixth more than a half.
no but two thirds is more than five sixth
more
70% because two thirds equals 66% so 70% is more.
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
oceans freshwater and lakes and streams cover 2/3 of earth
The cylinder representing the greatest amount of freshwater on Earth is the one that includes the water stored in glaciers and ice caps. This frozen freshwater accounts for about 68.7% of the total freshwater on Earth.
There is much more saltwater than freshwater. All of the oceans are made up of saltwater for example.
Water covers more than 2 thirds of the surface of the earth.
More Than 70% but only 1% is freshwater
Groundwater is generally more plentiful than surface water. It is estimated that about 30 times more freshwater is stored as groundwater compared to surface water. Groundwater is stored in underground aquifers and is replenished by precipitation and surface water sources.
groundwater has more freshwater than rivers and lakes
yes by two thirds
Approximately 97% of Earth's water is salt water, found in oceans, seas, and saltwater lakes. Only about 3% of Earth's water is freshwater, found in rivers, lakes, groundwater, and glaciers.
In glaciers. There is more frozen fresh water than in all the lakes and streams. Glacial melting also causes the desalination of the ocean, which is a bad thing. so we want the fresh water to stay in the glaciers
Two thirds.
