Question

all water on earth fresh water surface water use the graphs to select the true statements. select all that apply. the graph of surface water does not show water that is frozen in glaciers. all three graphs show the same amount of water. the graph of surface water shows most of earths fresh water. the graph showing fresh water includes water in lakes.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze each statement

  • Statement 1: "The graph of surface water does not show water that is frozen in glaciers."

Glaciers are part of fresh water (seen in the "Fresh water" pie chart, with glaciers as a category), and the "Surface water" graph focuses on lakes, swamps, rivers. So this is true.

  • Statement 2: "All three graphs show the same amount of water."

The first graph ("All water on Earth") includes salt water (97%) and fresh water (3%). The second ("Fresh water") is a subset of the first (3% of total), and the third ("Surface water") is a subset of fresh water. Thus, they represent different amounts (scales), so this is false.

  • Statement 3: "The graph of surface water shows most of Earth’s fresh water."

The "Fresh water" graph shows glaciers (69.4%) as the largest fresh water source, while surface water is a small part of fresh water (less than 1% of total, or a small slice in fresh water). So this is false.

  • Statement 4: "The graph showing fresh water includes water in lakes."

The "Fresh water" graph has categories like glaciers, groundwater, and surface water. Surface water includes lakes (from the "Surface water" graph: lakes are part of surface water). So fresh water (which includes surface water) includes lake water. This is true.

Answer:

  • The graph of surface water does not show water that is frozen in glaciers.
  • The graph showing fresh water includes water in lakes.
