  2. Water distribution on Earth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_distribution_on_Earth

    Most water in Earth's atmosphere and crust comes from saline seawater, while fresh water accounts for nearly 1% of the total. The vast bulk of the water on Earth is saline or salt water, with an average salinity of 35‰ (or 3.5%, roughly equivalent to 34 grams of salts in 1 kg of seawater), though this varies slightly according to the amount of runoff received from surrounding land.

  3. Properties of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_water

    As the surface of saltwater begins to freeze (at −1.9 °C [41] for normal salinity seawater, 3.5%) the ice that forms is essentially salt-free, with about the same density as freshwater ice. This ice floats on the surface, and the salt that is "frozen out" adds to the salinity and density of the seawater just below it, in a process known as ...

  5. Water cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_cycle

    The mass of water on Earth remains fairly constant over time. However, the partitioning of the water into the major reservoirs of ice, fresh water, salt water and atmospheric water is variable and depends on climatic variables. The water moves from one reservoir to another, such as from river to ocean, or from the ocean to the atmosphere.

  6. Fresh water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresh_water

    Many organisms can thrive on salt water, but the great majority of vascular plants and most insects, amphibians, reptiles, mammals and birds need fresh water to survive. Fresh water is the water resource that is of the most and immediate use to humans. Fresh water is not always potable water, that is, water safe to drink by humans.

  7. Freshwater ecosystem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freshwater_ecosystem

    There are three basic types of freshwater ecosystems: Lentic (slow moving water, including pools, ponds, and lakes), lotic (faster moving water, for example streams and rivers) and wetlands (areas where the soil is saturated or inundated for at least part of the time). Limnology (and its branch freshwater biology) is a study about freshwater ...

  9. Saltwater and freshwater economics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saltwater_and_freshwater...

    Another important difference between so-called "freshwater economics" and "saltwater economics" is what is required from an economic model and, in particular, about the internal consistency of the economic model. In general, "saltwater economists" insist less on internal model consistency than freshwater economists.
