Answer:
The total amount of water on the planet that is present in the <em>atmosphere</em> at any given time is about 0.001% of the total water found on Earth. This atmospheric water is responsible for all storms.
If by in storage we mean in <em>groundwater</em> then the percentage would be 1.69.
Explanation:
The overwhelming majority of all water on our planet resides in the <em>oceans</em>. These hold about 96.5% of the total.
If we only consider freshwater (water with no salt) then the greatest storage areas are <em>ice caps</em>, <em>glaciers</em>, and <em>groundwater aquifers</em>.
It would have to be Brazil
The correct answer is - Seafloor spreading at the mid-ocean ridge provides the mechanism for tectonic plate movement.
Harry Hess is one of the people that is most important when it comes to the proving and world wide acceptance of the continental drift theory.
Hess was very interested in the topic, and he was constantly looking for clues that would bring light to it and finally have a definite proof of it. While sailing through the Atlantic and doing some examinations, Hess noticed that there high mountains in the water, having flat peaks, and being arranged in an interesting manner. These underwater mountains, named guyouts, were the highest at a certain point, and than on both sides, as the distance was increasing they were becoming smaller and smaller.
What Hess stumbled upon was the seafloor spreading and how it works, and he recognized that quickly. He immediately went on to share what he discovered, that there's magma coming from bellow, solidifying and spreading, thus creating new crust while pushing the old crust away from the center, which is the reason why the continents are moving.
