This week Fun Fact is taken from the NASA website: https://science.nasa.gov/kids/earth/10-interesting-things-about-water/
Almost all Earth’s water is in the oceans.
About 70% of Earth’s surface is covered by water. Around 97% of that water is found in our oceans. This water is salty. That means about 3% of Earth’s water is fresh.
The image below is a representation of how water is distributed across the Earth. The Left image shows the 97%/3% split and then the other two images shows how fresh water is split. This image is from USGS: https://www.usgs.gov/media/images/distribution-water-and-above-earth
Have a good weekend!
