Water covers about three-quarters of the surface of Earth. However, water is one of the most limited resources on Earth. It is limited because not all of the water is usable as is and does not meet people's needs.

Answer 1

To appropriately label the blank spaces in the water resources diagram, here are the most common storage categories for Earth's water resources:

1. Oceans (covers about 97% of Earth's water)
2. Freshwater (includes rivers, lakes, glaciers, and groundwater)
3. Glaciers and Ice Caps (store a significant portion of freshwater)
4. Groundwater (the largest source of usable freshwater)

You can assign these labels to the blank spaces based on the structure of the diagram you are working with. If you provide a visual or more specific details about the diagram, I can help you determine where each label should go!
