How much water is in the ocean in cubic kilometers

Answered by admin @



The ocean contains 97% of Earth's water, and oceanographers have stated that less than 5% of the World Ocean has been explored. The total volume is approximately 1.35 billion cubic kilometers (320 million cu mi) with an average depth of nearly 3,700 meters (12,100 ft).

In 2010, A group of scientists used satellite measurements to get new estimates of these values, which turned out to be 0.3 billion cubic miles (1.332 billion cubic kilometers) for the volume of the oceans and 12,080.7 feet (3,682.2 meters) for the average ocean depth.

According to the U.S. Geological Survey, there are over 0.3 (332,519,000) cubic miles of water on the planet. A cubic mile is the volume of a cube measuring one mile on each side. Of this vast volume of water, NOAA's National Geophysical Data Center estimates that 321,003,271 cubic miles is in the ocean.

EXACT ANSWER:-

Though there is no exact calculation of how much cubic kilometres of water is present in ocean. Any exact amount is not available till now. Since, different reports,surveys and organisations have their different estimations. But after reading the reports, you can expect it to be around 1.321-1.335 billion cubic kilometres. Anything beyond this estimation is hard to believe.
