Answer:

B.It is locked up in glaciers and ice caps.

Explanation:

Earth is the only planet which we know where water is present is present in all the three forms. Seventy percent of the Earth is filled with water but only 2.5% is freshwater. Rest of it is saline water in oceans. Now, out of this 2.5% freshwater, only 1% is in usable form. This is because rest of the freshwater is locked up in ice caps and glaciers and cannot be used.

Answer:

Condensation.

Explanation:

The boiling point of water is much higher than that of either nitrogen or oxygen gas . So when the mixture is condensed to a temperature lower than

100°C , water vapor will come out first in the form of water leaving other

elements of mixture in gaseous phase. In this way, water vapor will get separated from others.
