Description: The Hydrosphere’s Reservoirs More than 97% of the hydrosphere consists of saltwater in the oceans. Of the fresh (nonsalty) water, almost 69% is frozen in glaciers, ice caps, and ice sheets, and 30% is underground. The rest—only 1.3%—can be found in many small reservoirs such as streams, rivers, and lakes. This fresh, liquid surface water thus makes up only about 0.036% of all the water on Earth Picture Stats: Views: 602 Filesize: 75.28kB Height: 1080 Width: 1117 Source: https://biology-forums.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=18972 |
