The World's Water

If all of Earth's water was put into a sphere>> Water ball would be about 860 miles ( about 1,385 kilometers )

Where is Earth’s water

Oceans 96.5% + Freshwater 2.5% + Other saline water = Total global water.

Glaciers and ice caps 68.7% + Groundwater 30.1% + Surface/other freshwater 1.2% = Total Freshwater.

Ground ice and permafrost 69.0% + Lakes 20.9% + Soil moisture 3.8% + Swamps, marshes 2.6% + Atmosphere 3.0% + Rivers 0.49% + Living things 0.26% = Surface water and other freshwater. 

• The total mass of the oceans on Earth is 1.35 x 1018 metric tonnes 

• Which is  1/4400  the total  mass  of the Earth. 0.02 % of our planet's total mass.

 • The remaining 3.5% is freshwater lakes and frozen water locked up in glaciers and the polar ice caps. 

 • Of that fresh water, almost all of it takes the form of ice: 69% of it, to be exact. 

•If you could melt all that ice, and the Earth's surface was perfectly smooth, the sea levels would rise to an altitude of ~2.7 km .

1 John 2:15-17

• If anyone loves the world,  the  love of  the  Father is not in  him

• So he  said, ‘I will  do this: I will pull down my  barns  and build  greater,  and there  I will store  all my  crops and my goods. 

•And I  will  say to  my  soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take  your ease; eat,  drink,  and  be merry.” 

• But God said  to  him, " Fool!  This  night  your soul will  be required  of  you;  then  whose  will  those things  be  which you have provided ? “

 •" So  is he  who lays  up  treasure for  himself,  and is not  rich toward God.”
