Question
We can broadly classify water into saline water, frozen water and usable surface water. Which of the following correctly represents their relative amount on the Earth?
Answer: Option B
:
B
Since oceans (which is saline in nature) are the biggest reservoir of water, containing about97% of all the water present on the earth, these arethe most availableform of water on the earth. The second source of water, i.e., frozen water or ice is found on poles and mountains. The ice melts and feeds all the rivers which representthe usable surface water. Hence, the correct order isSaline water > Frozen water > Usable surface water
