Alice has more total fresh water where she lives, but Diego has more fresh water that is actually available to use (drinking and washing hands). WHY???

• Alice is too lazy to go and get the water.

• The fresh water where Alice lives is mostly frozen fresh water.

• It's too hot.

The pie chart above only shows the surface areas of water where Isabel lives. It does not consider the depth of water. If you made another pie chart that showed the volumes of salt water, frozen fresh water, and fresh water, describe how the pie chart would be different. (Hint: oceans are very deep—much deeper than most lakes and rivers.)

• it would show more salt water. The gray part of the chart would be larger.

• The oceans are not deep.

• The parts of the chart that are white and black will probably both be smaller because the volume of the salt water will be much larger.

• There would be no difference.
