Social Studies

Answer:

Yes, I found it surprising.

Explanation:

Currently, only around 3.5 % of water that exist on the world's surface is fresh water, While Salt water make up the remaining 96% .

The reasons why most people were not aware of this information is probably because the rate of encounters. We almost never encounter salt water unless we're going to the beach. But we consume fresh water every single day. This created a false perception in people's head that make them think we possess more fresh water than we actually do.

If we consider how big ocean is on the world surface, this ratio shouldn't come as a surprise.. If you take a look at a map , you'll notice that around 71% of Earth surface is covered in ocean. Considering that oceans are deeper compared to lakes and rivers, it explains that saline water probably consisted more than 95% of earth's water reserves.

Ethnic Enclaves is the correct asnwer.

Throughout history, we see immigrants moving from one place to the other and  often staying in neighborhoods with people with whom they shared the same nationality, culture and similar habits. In Sociology and Anthropology, an ethnic enclave is defined as a geographic area where a community that shares similar background maintains a strong sense of identity and customs from their place of origin. These ethnic enclaves were the most common option for these immigrants since they felt  more welcome and safer from prejudice and discrimination.

nirvana33 [79]
Depending on how Jim's relationship with his ex-wife ended, through bitterness or a mutual agreement to be friends, he could either be happy or sad. If he was in between, he probably would've felt uncomfortable, because he neither cared enough to find out before his son but wasn't as cruel to say he didn't care.
