What Are The Facts About Bodies Of Water?

Question

i no i should of studied but i need the answers bad really bad so can some1 plz help me!!

Answer 1

Of all the earth’s water, 97% is salt water located in oceans and seas. Saltwater oceans hold 97% of surface water, glaciers and polar ice caps 2.4%, and other land surface water such as rivers and lakes 0.6%. Only 1% of the earth’s water is actually available for drinking water. The 5 Great Lakes contain about 20% of the world’s available fresh water. Water moves continually through a cycle of evaporation or transpiration, precipitation, and runoff, usually reaching the sea.
Water also infiltrates the ground and goes into aquifers. This groundwater later flows back to the surface in springs, or more spectacularly in hot springs and geysers. Groundwater is also extracted artificially in wells. The single largest freshwater resource suitable for drinking is Lake Baikal in Siberia, which has a very low salt and calcium content and is very clean.
With regard to the partitions between the different seas, bodies of water are not one homogeneous sea as it appears to us. Rather they are different seas, distinguished by varying degrees of salinity, temperature and density.

I could go on and on and on..... But you should have specified what kinds of facts you are looking for !

Answer 2

they are all made of hydrogen and oxygen atoms. You should be more specific. Do you think you will really get more information on this forum than you already know? This is time you could be in the library at your school with a pencil and paper.

Answer 3

They'rec wet; some are pretty deep; some have a significantly higher salt content than others; they cover approx. 70% of the earth.

These answers are about as vague as your question.

Answer 4

Endless possibilities: surface area, depth, volume, length and width, visibility, water quality, average temperature, # of animal species, etc.
