Much of Earth’s fresh water is found in glaciers. What percentage of Earth’s water is found in glaciers? 2.15%



5.75%



15.5%



25.25%

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Option (1)

Explanation:

Out of all the water body (total composition) present on earth, about 97% is the ocean saline water and the remaining 3% comprises the freshwater that includes the water of the rivers, lakes, streams and ponds.

Again, from this total amount of freshwater (3%), the glaciers and ice caps cover nearly 68% of it, groundwater covers about 30% and some other surface (fresh) water comprises the remaining 2%.

So, in simple words, it can be concluded that about 2% (68/100*3) of the freshwater is occupied by the glaciers.

Thus, from the given options, the most approximate value is 2.15% which is option (1).
Answer 2
Answer: 2.15 percent of water if found in glaciers

#5. The Appalachian Mountains are an example of a folded mountain range. Based on this information, which of the following processes formed the Appalachians?

/Tectonic movement forced certain segments of Earth's crust downward and other segments upward in jagged chunks./One tectonic plate moved beneath another plate at a subduction zone, causing the rock to melt and rise above Earth's surface./Segments of Earth's crust bent and doubled over, and moving wind and water gradually shaped the rock into gently sloping domes.

Answers

Here are the following answers to the five questions:
(1) "Form only at boundaries between two continental plates."
(2) "A fault-block mountain"
(3) "Island arcs form when hot, fluid rock rises through thin spots in Earth's crust, whereas hotspot volcanoes form when two oceanic plate boundaries push against each other until subduction happens and the plates partially melt."
(4) "The fault plane runs from the top of the rock to the bottom of the rock at an angle greater than 45 degrees."
(5) "Segments of Earth's crust bent and doubled over, and moving wind and water gradually shaped the rock into gently sloping domes."
