To break the numbers down, 96.5%
of all the Earth's water is contained within the oceans as salt water,
while the remaining 3.5% is freshwater lakes and frozen water locked up
in glaciers and the polar ice caps. Of that fresh water, almost all of
it takes the form of ice: 69% of it, to be exact.
Over 97 percent of the earth's water is found in the oceans as salt water. Two percent of the earth's water is stored as fresh water in glaciers, ice caps, and snowy mountain ranges. Hope this helps!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o)
