Answer:

A

Explanation:

The correct answer here would be that <u>less than 3 percent of Earth's water is freshwater containing no salt.</u>

<em>Generally speaking, about 71 % of the earth is made up of water. Out of this percentage, approximately 97 % is found in the oceans with less than 3 % being freshwater. About 68.7 % of the freshwater is locked-up as glacier and ice, 30.1 % is groundwater, while the remaining 1.2 % represents surface and other forms of freshwaters which include ground ice and permafrost, lakes, atmosphere, rivers, swamps and marshes, soil moisture, and the freshwater in living organisms. </em>

The correct option is A.

Which type of bond is found in many carbon-to-carbon bonds in canola oil, but very few carbon-to-carbon bonds in butter?
Novosadov [1.4K]
C=C, the double carbon bond creates a kink in the chain of carbons, and prevents the fats from stacking neatly and forming a solid. The double carbon bonds present in canola oil are why it is a liquid at room temperature, while the lack of such bonds in butter allows for the molecules to lay flat on one another, making butter a solid.

Define "Fracking" and ways it can alter/upset the water cycle.
Nata [24]

Answer:

Fracking can contaminate water supplies if it is not done properly, because the fracking fluid injected into rock to enable gas to be released often contains chemicals. If the borehole is not properly cased to stop leaks, the fracking water can escape into the aquifer
