If I had 100 Dollars, where would all the water be on earth?
Well, I would spend $75 dollars on the oceans, because the oceans cover about 75% of the world. So this leaves us with 25 Dollars. I would then moves to our glacial water. I'd give about $10 of that amount to glacial water. So now I am left with $15. I would say aquifers should get about $9 dollars, so that then brings our budget down to 6 dollars. I would say lakes/ rivers pooled together could get 4 of that six dollars which leaves us with $2 for the atmospheric water.
After learning a little more about how earth got its water, I learned that my budget was a bit off. The realistic divy of this budget would be:
$97.20- Oceans
$2.15- Glacers
$0.62- Ground Water
$00.09- Fresh Water Lakes
$00.08- Salt Water Lakes and Seas
$00.07- Variable
$00.05- Soil Moisture
$00.01 Atmosphere
