    While the Earth's oceans are known as five separate entities, there is really only one ocean. So, how big is it? As of 2013, it takes up 71% of the Earth, houses 99% of the biosphere, and contains some of Earth's grandest geological features. Scott Gass reminds us of the influence humans have on the ocean and the influence it has on us.
    Lesson by Scott Gass, animation by Sandro Katamashvili.

    No one ever mentions how thin (shallow) the ocean really is when the whole globe is in view. Compare 11km, the single deepest bit of the ocean, with how 11km would be seen sideways. Considering Earth's diameter is less more than 12 thousand kilometers, 11km is thin as the thinnest wrap.

    @tomnguyen1999 10 лет назад +4

    They forgot the mention that the ocean accounts for very little of Earth's volume. The ocean only goes about 11.03km down (Challenger Deep @ Mariana Trench), but on sea level, the center of Earth is 6,371km away. Far, far, far more than the oceans volume. So, Water goes to 11 km; land goes to 6,300 km. See the difference?
    In simple perspective, Earth is 1.8321 TRILLION 1,083,210,000,000 cubic kilometers in volume, and the ocean is just 1.3 BILLION cubic kilometers or 1,300,000,000. In ratio its about 130/10,8321.

    • @kikih1518
      @kikih1518 9 лет назад

      Land doesn't go 6,371 km. Land, as we call it, only goes down to 5 - 70 km. Below that's it's hardly land. The asthenosphere is a sort of soft solid, while the mantle and outer core are completely liquid. The inner core is solid though, but that's just because of its density.

    • @Iamlegend91
      @Iamlegend91 10 лет назад +15

      The Mass of Earth is 5.97219e24 kilograms
      The Mass of The Oceans if 1.3e21 kilograms
      So on doing the division, you get 4.59e-3
      Which is 0.021 % of the total mass of Earth!
      I hope that answers your question. :)

    I love the ocean - it contains my favorite animals and I would love to see it every day, just hear it and see it's vastness. Videos like that give me an uneasy, almost painful feeling. How could humanity screw that up so bad... It'll survive, yes. And It's adapting. But it is truly tragic what has already happened and will happen for quite some time until there is something like a global evolution of our minds and I'm afraid I won't be able to witness this in my years to come on this planet.

    The examples in the video were for the US, here they are for the UK. All the oceans' water would cover the US 130 km deep, the UK would be under 5298 km of water. The square area of the water would cover 36 US's or 1444 UK's. This is based on square areas of 244,820 and 9,826,675 for the UK and US; I used a multiplier of 40.138. Personally, I think they should have used Pangaea for comparison (no flag). Have a great day people.

    I feel the need to explain the biosphere comment. Biosphere refers to CUBIC or 3D space that CAN house life. Because every drop of water in the ocean CAN hold life, like bacteria and algae, all of the water in the ocean counts as the biosphere. In contrast, not every bit of land/air counts, only what’s in the dirt and up to the canopy layer. So it makes sense then that the ocean is 99% of the biosphere.

    I would have liked to see a a 3D map of earths surface drained of all its waters to asses for my self how the geographical features look like under water. Why educators are always patterned to give only one side of a truth: yes, water makes 70% of planet earth surface.,and the video said it comprises 360 billion cubic kilometers .that's fine.But it failed to mention How much is the ratio between the bulk of oceans compared to the bulk of earth itself? i think it is a negligible fraction. How deep the waters would be if the earths surface were evenly planed with no mountains or ridges or ravines or islands ? 3 km /4 km ?

How deep is the deepest point in ocean? Its 11.6 kms (in the pacific ocean) ,so the average depth of all the oceans on the whole surface of earth would be some thing between 0 - 11.6 which would result in a constant definitely below 5,8 kms NOT 132 kms

      I'm quite sure they made a mistake on factors of 10. 360 billion would put us all under hundreds of km of water!
      Let's say they meant 3.6 billion km^3
      surface area of a sphere is 4π r² for the earth r is approximately 10000 km. Depth would be volume divided by surface area.
      (3.6 * 10^9) / 400000000 π = 36 /4π km = 9/π km
      So assuming they where out by a factor of 100 we would be under a 9/π km of water if the earth was perfectly spherical. Slightly under 3 km.

    • @mametfelixlaudat1365
      @mametfelixlaudat1365 8 лет назад

      Correct around 3km is the depth. Where did it all come from? I think it juiced out of the earth interior , being under pressure from thousands of kilometers thick layers of molten and solid rock. The best place for it is to be in the crust and above. Thats the reason why there is no water on Mars. All its waters are still trapped in the whole mass of the planet. Not that it lost it to space
