Best Answer

71% of Earth's surface is covered in ocean and marginal seas. Marginal seas includes such places as the Mediterranean, Gulf of Mexico, etc. However, that large percentage of surface area being water can appear to be misleading as most estimates place the actual percentage of the Earth's mass from water at around .023%.
