The worldâs water exists naturally in different forms and locations: in the air, on the surface, below the ground, and in the oceans. Freshwater accounts for only 2.5% of the Earthâs water, and most of it is frozen in glaciers and ice caps.
On Christmas Day, 1066, William the Conqueror was crowned the first Norman king of England, in Westminster Abbey, and the Anglo-Saxon phase of English history came to an end. French became the language of the kingâs court and gradually blended with the Anglo-Saxon tongue to give birth to modern English.
In 1085 William the Conqueror ordered a complete survey of the land in England. The Domesday Book is the result. It was probably for the purpose of recording taxes and determining military service in a feudal system.
