How do fresh water and salt water form layers?
Fresh water and salt water form layers due to differences in density. Salt water is denser than fresh water, so when they come into contact, the salt water sinks beneath the fresh water, creating distinct layers. This process is known as stratification.
What percentage is earth fresh water?
Of all the water on Earth, around 2.75% of it is fresh drinking water.
What percentage of the earths waters is fresh water available for use by living organism?
Approximately 2.5% of Earth's water is fresh water, of which only about 0.5% is readily accessible for use by living organisms. The majority of fresh water is stored in glaciers, ice caps, and deep underground aquifers.
If all of Earths water was represented by 100 millimeters how many millimeters of fresh water would there be?
Oh, what a lovely question! If we imagine all of Earth's water as 100 millimeters, the amount of fresh water available would only be about 2.5 millimeters. It's a small amount compared to all the water on our beautiful planet, but it's just enough for us to appreciate and take care of.
