Isn't it surprising at how little fresh water there is compared to salt water? Why or why not?

Yes, I found it surprising.

Explanation:

Currently, only around 3.5 % of water that exist on the world's surface is fresh water, While Salt water make up the remaining 96% .

The reasons why most people were not aware of this information is probably because the rate of encounters. We almost never encounter salt water unless we're going to the beach. But we consume fresh water every single day. This created a false perception in people's head that make them think we possess more fresh water than we actually do.

If we consider how big ocean is on the world surface, this ratio shouldn't come as a surprise.. If you take a look at a map , you'll notice that around 71% of Earth surface is covered in ocean. Considering that oceans are deeper compared to lakes and rivers, it explains that saline water probably consisted more than 95% of earth's water reserves.

an aneroid barometer is different from a mercury barometer in that it provides readings that increase as air pressure increases.
