Fresh water is found in
1. frozen in the ice-caps
2. underground water
3. seas and oceans
4. Both 1 and 2

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : Both 1 and 2

EXPLANATION:

• Water-cycle: The whole process in which water evaporates and falls on the land as rain and later flows back into the sea via rivers is known as the water cycle. 
•  Most of the water on Earth’s surface is found in seas and oceans and is saline.
• Freshwater is found frozen in the ice-caps at the two poles (North and South) and on snow-covered mountains.
• The underground water and the water in rivers, lakes and ponds, streams, wetlands, and even groundwater is also freshwater. 
• Freshwater is just 3% of all the water on Earth.
• Groundwater waters like Rivers, Ponds, Glaciers, etc. are the major sources of Freshwater.

So freshwater is found frozen in the ice-caps and underground water.
