Water distribution on earth

Over 70% of the Earth’s surface is covered in water, yet most of this is made up of seawater in oceans. Just a small amount is freshwater.

Where is Earth's water?For an estimated explanation of where Earth's water exists, look at this bar chart. You may know that the water cycle describes the movement of Earth's water, so realize that the chart and table below represent the presence of Earth's water at a single point in time. If you check back in a thousand or million years, no doubt these numbers will be different!Notice how of the world's total water supply of about 332.5 million cubic miles of water, over 96 percent is…

The World's Water - Distribution of Earth's WaterThe Earth is a watery place. But just how much water exists on, in, and above our planet? About 71 percent of the Earth's surface is water-covered, and 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.This bar chart shows how almost all of Earth's water is saline and is…

An overview of the distribution of water on Earth.

The water cycle is a fundamental concept in science, illustrating the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth. Understanding this cycle is both a cornerstone of scientific literacy and a doorway to appreciating the natural world.

The movement of large masses on the planet of water, both above and below the surface, is determined by atmospheric circulation patterns, variations in the amount of sunlight absorbed with latitude, and the water cycle. Surface currents, also known as horizontal currents, are caused primarily by wind pushing on the surface of the water, and the distribution of continents determines their movement. Because of the Earth's spin, which causes the Coriolis effect, currents, like winds in the…

This lighthearted animation takes us beneath the surface to see groundwater in action. Watch anthropomorphized drops of groundwater travel through this system. A smiling character with a shovel digs us down to the water table, allowing us to flow through the water cycle and thus making the process much easier to understand.
