Q. What percentage of water on Earth is fresh and clean enough to drink?
About 70 percent of the earth is water, but only 2.5 percent of that is freshwater.
Q. Is 70% of the world water?
The Earth is a watery place. About 71 percent of the Earth’s surface is water-covered, and the oceans hold about 96.5 percent of all Earth’s water. Water also exists in the air as water vapor, in rivers and lakes, in icecaps and glaciers, in the ground as soil moisture and in aquifers, and even in you and your dog.
Q. Is the Earth losing oxygen?
A pair of researchers from Toho University and NASA Nexus for Exoplanet System Science has found evidence, via simulation, that Earth will lose its oxygen-rich atmosphere in approximately 1 billion years. Then, as carbon dioxide levels fall, plant life will begin to suffer, resulting in reduced production of oxygen.
Q. Will we run out of power?
We will never run out of electricity but we may run out of the fossil fuels used to produce it for domestic and industrial applications. Wind, solar and other types of renewable electricity will have to be relied on more than at present. As for electricity itself, the universe is filled with it.
Q. How long will US oil reserves last?
At our current consumption rate of about 20 million barrels a day, the Strategic Petroleum Reserve would last only 36 days if we were faced with a situation where the oil had to be released all at once (however, only 4.4 million barrels a day can be withdrawn, extending our supply to 165 days).
Q. Is oil a dinosaur?
Oil and natural gas do not come from fossilized dinosaurs! Thus, they are not fossil fuels. That’s a myth. According to Wikipedia, the term “fossil fuel” was first used by German chemist Caspar Neumann in 1759.
