The place where most of the Earth’s total water resides.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1BYL
Most of the Earth’s total water resides in the Oceans (96.5%).
Explanation of Solution
The water on the Earth probably originated from the comets or the icy objects that collide with the surface. The oceans occupy the major percentage of water of about 96.5% as saline water, and the remaining 3.5% of water occurs as fresh water in the form of ice sheets, glaciers, groundwater and lakes, swamps, and other features on the surface.
