Question

a) Land covers about __________ of the earth's surface​

Answer 1

The correct answer is 29%

• About 29% of the Earth's surface is covered by Land. About 71% of the Earth's surface is water-covered and the oceans hold for about 96.5% of all Earth's water.

• Less than 30% of the 510 million square kilometers of area on the Earth's surface is covered by land. There are over 510 million square kilometers of area on the surface of Earth, but less than 30% of this is covered by land. The rest is water, in the form of vast oceans.

• Most of the Earth surface, about 70%, is covered with water. The remaining 30% is made up of the seven continental landmasses. Underneath the water that fills the oceans, and the dirt and plants that cover the continents, the Earth's surface layer is made of rock

• Ocean Waves. The ocean covers more than 70 percent of Earth, and more than 80 percent of it remains unexplored. The ocean is a huge body of saltwater that covers about 71 percent of Earth's surface

• Viewed from space, one of the most striking features of our home planet is the water, in both liquid and frozen forms, that covers approximately 75% of the Earth's surface.
