Assume the Pacific Ocean has a surface area of 1.7 x 108 km2 and an average depth of 3800 m.
Calculate the volume of water in the ocean in liters:

Solutions

Expert Solution

surface area = 1.7 x 108 km2

                     = 1.7 x 108 x 106 m2

                     = 1.7 x 10^14 m^2

average depth = 3800 m

volume of pacific ocean = surface area x depth

                                      = 1.7 x 10^14 x 3800

                                      = 6.46 x 10^17 m^3

1 m^3 = 1000 L

volume of pacific ocean in liters = 6.46 x 10^17 x 1000 L

                                                = 6.46 x 10^20 L
