Earth's Water Distribution
Earth: the Water Planet
WHAT ARE THEY?
There are 2 kinds of water
Freshwater
Saltwater
The ocean is full of plants, animals, and food.
Also a little danger!
IS IT A MYSTERY?
Where does the salt come from?
WHY DON’T PENGUINS FEET FREEZE?

HOW MUCH WATER IS THERE ON THE EARTH
COMPARED TO
HOW MUCH LAND THERE IS ON THE EARTH?
Water to Land
ABOUT 71
PERCENT
OF THE EARTH'S SURFACE IS
WATER-COVERED
ABOUT
29 PERCENT
OF THE EARTH IS COVERED
BY LAND
SPATIALLY, A LITTLE MORE THAN 70 OUT OF
EVERY 100 PLACES ON ARE COVERED BY WATER
Understanding Percentage
HOW MUCH SALT WATER
COMPARED TO
HOW MUCH FRESHWATER
Let’s look closer at the Water World.
THE OCEANS HOLD ABOUT 96.5
PERCENT OF ALL EARTH'S WATER.
WATER ALSO EXISTS IN THE AIR AS
WATER VAPOR, IN RIVERS AND
LAKES, IN ICECAPS AND GLACIERS, IN
THE GROUND AS SOIL MOISTURE AND
IN AQUIFERS, AND EVEN IN YOU AND
YOUR DOG
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.
Numbers
LETS DO AN EXPERIMENT TO SHOW THIS!
Salt Water vs Freshwater
Lets Protect our Precious Freshwater
Earth, known as the Water Planet, is covered by about 71% water and 29% land. There are two main kinds of water - freshwater and saltwater. The oceans hold approximately 96.5% of Earth's water, with the remaining as freshwater in lakes, glaciers, and ice caps. The distribution of water plays a crucial role in supporting life on our planet.
