Some people call Earth the "Blue Planet," why do you think this is? Of all the water on Earth, only about 1% is available for human use. WHY?

Answer:

I think it's not because of the water we use it's the water we have.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because our planet is made up of 75% water it is naturally the first thing to recognize.

Many people call Earth the “blue planet” because seen from far away, what really stands out of the planet, it’s the the ocean as the earth is most covered with water well salt water and most of the water is not available to humans because most of the water contains salt which is not fresh water, only a small percentage of the water is fresh and drinkable
