Question

approximately how much of earths fresh water is trapped in glacial ice? a) 30 percent b) 10 percent c) 90 percent d) 70 percent question 3 (5 points) during which process of the hydrologic cycle does the sun heat surface water, causing the water to change from its liquid state to its gaseous state? a) condensation b) infiltration c) precipitation

Explanation:

Approximately 70 percent of Earth's fresh water is trapped in glacial ice. Evaporation is the process in the hydrologic cycle where the sun heats surface water causing it to change from liquid to gaseous state. Condensation is the change from gas to liquid, infiltration is water moving into the soil, and precipitation is water falling from the atmosphere.

Answer:

1. D. 70 percent
2. None of the above (the correct answer is Evaporation)
