Describe how water is distributed on earth.
Answer:
Distribution of Water on Earth
3% - fresh water
97% - ocean
Explanation:
The water is unevenly distributed around the world. This is the only substance that is present in 3 States of Matter. In Solid, snow or ice; Liquid the Water itself and in Gas, Water Vapor. Water Molecules can cycle almost anywhere on Earth because of its unique properties.
Water Cycle
The movement of water around Earths surface is called Hydrologic Cycle. The water on Earth is stored hundreds of thousand years in the oceans.
To become water Vapor, water changes from liquid to gas through evaporation. The Sun provide energy to evaporate water from oceans, steam, lakes, or even puddles on the land. The water Vapor will stay in the atmosphere until condensation take place to become tiny droplets of liquid. The droplets now will gathered in clouds and blown by wind around the world. As the droplets grow and collide in the cloud, Parcipitation take place as rain, snow, hail and sleet. It may fall anywhere around the globe, may fall back to the oceans or in the land. This is now where the distribution of the water occur. Only 3% of the water is fresh. 97% of these are Earths Ocean. Out of 3% fresh water, only 1% of these is usable to humans. 99% of this is the usable quantity is situated underground. 11.22.1.10
