Question

question 2
which of the following is true about the breakdown of water on earth?
all fresh water is found in glaciers, which eventually melt into lakes and rivers for human consumption.
there is an infinite supply of water on earth as new water is constantly added through the water cycle.
approximately 80% of earth’s surface is covered by oceans and another 10% by lakes and rivers.
there is an abundant supply of water on earth, but very little fresh water is readily available.

Explanation:

Fresh water exists in glaciers, groundwater, lakes, rivers etc. The water - cycle recycles water rather than adding new water. About 71% of Earth's surface is covered by oceans. Earth has a large amount of water overall, but most is salt - water in oceans, leaving only a small fraction as readily available fresh water.

Answer:

D. There is an abundant supply of water on Earth, but very little fresh water is readily available.
