New Hampshire's House of Representatives endorsed marijuana legalization Wednesday, but that doesn't mean the state will be the third to legalize pot. Rep. Steve Vaillancourt, a Republican sponsoring the legalization bill, tells U.S. News the state will not adopt his proposal in 2014.
The ocean holds 97 percent of the Earth's water; the remaining three percent is freshwater found in glaciers and ice, below the ground, or in rivers and lakes. Of the world's total water supply of about 326 million cubic miles of water, over 96 percent is saline, found in the ocean.
The majority of freshwater on earth is found in frozen glaciers and ice caps. This frozen water accounts for 68.7 percent of earth's freshwater, with 30.1 percent found in groundwater. Only 1.2 percent of fresh water is exposed to the surface of the planet.
