Step 1 : Introduction to the question "On which of Earth's continents will you find most of the planet's fresh water?"
Earth's atmosphere and crust comes from the world ocean's saline seawater, while freshwater accounts for only 2.5% of the total. Because the oceans that cover roughly 71% of the area of the Earth reflect blue light, the Earth appears blue from space, and is often referred to as the blue planet and the Pale Blue Dot.
Step 2 : Answer to the question "On which of Earth's continents will you find most of the planet's fresh water?"
Antarctica About 98% of Antarctica is covered by the Antarctic ice sheet, a sheet of ice averaging at least 1.6 km (1.0 mi) thick. The continent has about 90% of the world's ice (and thereby about 70% of the world's fresh water). According to the U.S. Geological Survey, over 68 percent of Earth's fresh water supply is located in ice caps and glaciers, with just over 30 percent found in groundwater.
Step 3 : Other interesting facts related to the question "On which of Earth's continents will you find most of the planet's fresh water?"
It is estimated an additional 1.5 to eleven times the amount of water in the oceans is contained in the Earth's interior, and some scientists have hypothesized that the water in the mantle is part of a "whole-Earth water cycle" Next Step : We care our friends, so we share answers.
