| water on Earth would fit into one 860-mile-wide ball Every sea, river and underground lake would fit into what looks like a tiny blue 'blister' on the side of our planet. 'As you know, the Earth is a watery place - but all the water on, in, and above the Earth would fill a ball the size of that tiny blue sphere sitting on the United States, reaching from about Salt Lake City, Utah to Topeka, Kansas,' says a USGS release. The oceans hold about 96.5 percent of all Earth's water. Water also exists on Earth in the air as clouds and water vapour, in lakes and rivers, in icecaps and glaciers, and in living creatures - but all of that would fit into the tiny ball. 'The vast majority of water on the Earth's surface, over 96 percent, is saline water in the oceans,' says the USGS.

For a detailed explanation of where Earth's water is, look at the data table below. Notice how of the world's total water supply of about 333 million mi3 of water, over 96 percent is saline. And, of the total freshwater, over 68 percent is locked up in ice and glaciers. Another 30 percent of freshwater is in the ground. Rivers are the source of most of the fresh surface water people use, but they only constitute about 300 mi3 (1,250 km3), about 1/10,000 th of one percent of total water. Note: percentages may not sum to 100% due to rounding. | |

| When God refurbishes this planet he says that the water on the planet will be placed back into space to form a firmament around the planet, just like it was in the 1st world age back when the attempted overthrow of God's throne was attempted by Satan. Also there will be no terrible weather anymore either. There will be no jet streams, no elnino's or any other weather trouble. The planet will become just like it was at the first, a Paradise again. It was because of the attempted overthrow of the Throne of God that all this crazy stuff goes on here on this planet now. please bring it on..... | |
