The estimated total mi^3 of water on earth is 333 million

About 68.7% of this is stored in glaciers & icecaps

2.Why do introduced species often disrupt an ecosystem?
Bad White [126]

Introduced species

Ecosystems are complex systems that are in dynamic equilibrium with constant interactions between their parts.

When a new species is introduced, new interactions will occur, generating new components of the system and also competing with the previous interactions between the species already present in the system, which normally ends up generating an imbalance in the ecosystem mentioned, i.e a disruption in it.

How is The environment on Mars different from that of Earth’s?
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

  • Mars is about half the size of Earth by diameter and has a much thinner atmosphere, with an atmospheric volume less than 1% of Earth's. The atmosphere of Mars is about 100 times thinner than Earth's, and it is 95 percent carbon dioxide.
  • The atmospheric composition is also significantly different: primarily carbon dioxide-based, while Earth's is rich in nitrogen and oxygen.
  • Because of the differences in atmospheric densities and distances from the sun, the temperature within the atmosphere are also wildly different. Earth generally ranges from 14 degrees Celsius to 70.0 degrees, whereas Mars ranges from -146 degrees C to -140 degrees C.
  • Both planets have a silicate mantle surrounding their cores and a surface crust of solid material.
  • Earth and Mars’ both have terrains that varies considerably from place to place.
