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.
There is not really much fresh ware on Earth. 1.74% of all Earth's water is in this frozen form as ice caps, glaciers and snow. Only 0.75% of Earth's water is liquid water and potentially accessible as fresh water in ground water, lakes, streams and swamps. Long Answer: About 97.5% of water on Earth is salt water and 2.5% fresh water. All of the oceans are salt water and the oceans represent more than 96% of all water on Earth. Of the 2.5% fresh water, only 0.3% is in liquid form on the surface. Most of the rest is frozen or underground. Less than .01 % of all water is in lakes and rivers.
