Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1 . 3% of the earth's water is fresh. 2.5% of the earth's fresh water is unavailable: locked up in glaciers, polar ice caps, atmosphere, and soil; highly polluted; or lies too far under the earth's surface to be extracted at an affordable cost. 0.5% of the earth's water is available fresh water.
3 .Infiltration is the process by which water on the ground surface enters the soil. Infiltration is governed by two forces, gravity, and capillary action. While smaller pores offer greater resistance to gravity, very small pores pull water through capillary action in addition to and even against the force of gravity.
4.Water is removed from the surface of the Earth to the atmosphere by two distinct mechanisms: evaporation and transpiration. Evaporation can be defined as the process where liquid water is transformed into a gaseous state. Transpiration is the process of water loss from plants through stomata.
5.Water at the Earth's surface evaporates into water vapor which rises up into the sky to become part of a cloud which will float off with the winds, eventually releasing water back to Earth as precipitation.
