The form of energy associated with the position or arrangement of objects in a system. Second Law of Thermodynamics. States that no enrgy transformation is perfectly effiecients; in a closed system, some energy from every transformation will always be lost as heat, with a corresponding increase in entropy.
When we think of water, we think of rain, lakes and rivers. because they are parts of our daily lives. Water is also found in the atmosphere, underground, in. snow, ice, seas and oceans. It is in constant motion and recycles itself through the Water Cycle. Most of the earthâs water is salty or permanently frozen. 95.1% of water on earth is estimated. to be salt water. Fresh water total only 4.9% of all water on earth. Fresh water is found in. ice, lakes, rivers, streams and underground.
Â­The oceans are huge. About 70 percent of the planet is covered in ocean, and the average depth of the ocean is several thousand feet (about 1,000 meters). Ninety-eight percent of the water on the planet is in the oceans, and therefore is unusable for drinking because of the salt.About 2 percent of the planet's water is fresh, but 1.6 percent of the planet's water is locked up in the polar ice caps and glaciers.Another 0.36 percent is found underground in aquifers and wells.here's a whole lot of water on Earth! Something like 326,000,000,000,000,000,000 gallons (326 million trillion gallons) of the stuff (roughly 1,260,000,000,000,000,000,000 liters) can be found on our planet.
