Seas and oceans are full of water on earth. However, a very small percentage of water present on earth is available for us. This percentage is roughly- 0.006%
- 0.06%
- 0.6%
- 6%
Correct Answer: (c) 0.6%
Explanation: About 97.4% of the total water on earth is in seas and oceans. About 2% of water is frozen in glaciers and in polar ice caps. Only 0.6% is available as freshwater in the liquid form. (0.59% is present as groundwater and only 0.01% is available as fresh water on the surface of the earth).
