Answer:
1.7% is stored in the polar icecaps, glaciers, and permanent snow
Explanation:
70% of the Earth's surface is covered with water; However, only a small percentage, 0.025%, is suitable for human consumption. A limited resource whose demand, according to the forecasts of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), will skyrocket up to 55% globally between 2000 and 2050.
In the attached infographic we observe that the total volume of water on Earth is 1,386 million cubic kilometers, of which<em> </em><u>1.7% is forming polar ice, cap glaciers and permanent snow</u>. 1,338 million cubic kilometers of that water is in seas and oceans, that is, 96.5% is in seas and oceans, that is, it is salt water that cannot be drunk.
Only 3.5% of the Earth's water is fresh, but of this percentage, only 1% of the Earth's fresh water flows through the river basins in the form of streams and rivers.
Because the tip of the moon's shadow ... the area of "totality" ... is never more than a couple hundred miles across, It never covers a single place for more than 7 minutes, and can never stay on the Earth's surface for more than a few hours altogether during one eclipse.
If you're not inside that small area, you don't see a total eclipse.
Sorry I'm so late, but I just took this test and the answer is white (for people who didn't study well ;) )
The formula for velocity is distance divided by time, or d/t. The distance is 500 km and the time is 1.2 hours. 500/1.2 is 416.6 km/hr.
