where is most of the liquid water on earth and what would have to be done so that humans could drink it?
DerKrebs [107]

Most of the liquid water on Earth is found in the oceans, in fact the percentage is so big that it comes as if almost all liquid water on our planet is in the oceans while the water from the lakes, rivers, ponds etc. is just a minor part of the whole.

The water from the oceans contains salt, thus making it a salty water and not suitable for drinking as it is naturally. For this water to be consumed and be part of the daily of the humans for drinking it needs to be desalinated. Desalination is a process that gets the salt out of the water and makes it suitable for drinking. This is not an unknown or untested process, it is something that is practiced for decades now mostly on the Arabian Peninsula where there isn't any fresh water resources.

Which natural resource is most available in Central American and Caribbean
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

Rainforest timber is the most available natural resources in Central America, the Caribbean, and South America.

Explanation:

Central America, the Caribbean, and South America are all dominated by tropical climate types, with some exceptions here and there. Pretty much all of Central America and the Caribbean have tropical wet climate, so naturally, they are covered with tropical rainforests South America is more diverse, but on the other hand, it has the largest rainforest in the plant, the Amazon.

This leads to the countries of these regions to have an abundance of rainforest timber at disposal. Some countries have decided to largely leave the rainforests as they are and protect them while some have decided to exploit them on a large scale. There is an abundance of tree species in these regions, a lot of which are of high quality and in high demand on the global market, and a lot of countries have used this to boost their economy. Unfortunately, this has resulted in large-scale deforestation in some areas.
