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.
According to some figures, the consensus is that 70.8% of the Earth's surface is covered by water; 29.2 % is covered by land. Other figures suggest the percentage of Earth's surface covered by water is 71.11%; the percentage covered by land is 28.89%. Only 3% of that water is fresh water, the rest is saltwater. <br /> <b>The amount of Earth covered by water is exactly 71.13%</b> <br /> 70.78% of the Earth is covered in water. <br /> Land covers 29.22 percent of the Earth's surface. This is about 57.5 million square miles (149 x 106 square kilometers). Water covers the other 70.78 percent of the Earth's surface.
