There are 117 million lakes on Earth, covering 3.7 percent of the continental land surface.

Most lakes are relatively small – 90 million lakes are less than two football fields in size.
Most lakes lie low — 85 percent are at elevations less than 1,600 feet (500 meters) above sea level.

68.7% of the fresh water on Earth is trapped in glaciers,
30% of fresh water is in the ground.

1.7% of the world’s water is frozen and therefore unusable. Approximately 400 billion gallons of water are used in the United States per day. Nearly one-half of the water used by Americans is used for thermoelectric power generation. In one year, the average American residence uses over 100,000 gallons (indoors and outside).Water can dissolve more substances than any other liquid including sulfuric acid. The freezing point of water lowers as the amount of salt dissolved in at increases. With average levels of salt, seawater freezes at -2 °C (28.4 °F).

When two individuals kiss, they interchange in between 10 million to 1 billion bacteria with each other.

We’ve already established that our mouth is full of bacteria and when two people engage in a kiss, they exchange from 10 million to 1 billion bacteria approximately. Isn’t that crazy? In just a 12-second kiss, one can exchange around 80 million bacteria with you, so think carefully about that the next time you are in that situation.
