the fact of earth water surface (tab word with the blue color)
a. These two ice sheets cover all but 2.4 percent of Antarctica's 14 million square kilometers. At its thickest point the ice sheet is 4,776 meters deep. It averages 2,160 meters thick, making Antarctica the highest continent. This ice is 90 percent of all the world's ice and 70 percent of all the world's fresh water.
b. There are 117 million lakes on Earth, covering 3.7 percent of the continental land surface.
c. Area of land: 148 326 000 km2
d. Water covers about 71% of the earth's surface
e. More than half a percent of Earth's nonglaciated land surface—about 773,000 km2—is covered with rivers and streams, according to a new analysis of satellite images.

Jawaban:
Antarctica is the highest continent, with ice sheets covering 98.6% of its 14 million square kilometers and reaching a thickness of 4,776 meters at its thickest point. The ice in Antarctica is 90% of the world's total ice and 70% of the world's fresh water. There are 117 million lakes on Earth, covering 3.7% of the continental land surface. The total land area of the Earth is 148,326,000 km2 and water covers 71% of the Earth's surface. 773,000 km2 of non-glaciated land surface is covered by rivers and streams.
