Answer:

Oceans = > 97 percent of Earth's water.

Glaciers = > 70% of Earth's freshwater

River = > Powered by gravity

Groundwater = > 100 times more water than all rivers and lakes

97% of the water on Earth is not drinkable as it is salt-water in oceans.

Of the 3% that is freshwater, Glaciers make up about 70% which means that we don't have access to a significant amount of freshwater either.

Of the available freshwater to us, groundwater comprises 98% which enables it to be 100 times more than all rivers and lakes.

Rivers are powered by gravity in that they flow from areas of higher elevation to areas of lower elevation as gravity pulls it downwards.

Answer:

The K-T extinction event is the global mass extinction that has taken place about some 65 million years back due to the asteroidal impact. This mass extinction event has wiped almost 75% of the plants and animal species from the earth's surface. The dinosaurs were extinct and very animal species have survived and undergone evolution in due course of time.|

The Cenozoic era started after the K-T mass extinction event, i.e from about 65 million years to the present.

Thus, the Cenozoic era is also known as the age of mammals because mammal were more abundant and diverse then. Many flowering plants evolved during this time and the earth experienced global cooling.
