According to the U.S. Geological Survey, there is over 1,4 billion cubic kilometers of water on the planet. 95% of that water is in the oceans, so that makes 1,3 billion cubic kilometers of ocean water.

Why does Earth's air temperature vary greatly during the day while its ocean temperature varies only slightly?
The atmosphere has lower heat capacity
What is carbon pool?
A carbon pool is a reservoir with the capacity to store and release carbon, such as soil, terrestrial vegetation, the ocean, and the atmosphere.
Which metric unit would you use to measure the capacity of an ocean?
It depends on what you mean by capacity: The amount of water in the ocean would probably be measured in millions of cubic kilometres. The amount of a chemical substance it can dissolve might be in tons or kilotons - though the amount that can be absorbed safely will be very much smaller - possible only kilograms.
Why does earth's air temperature vary greatly during the day while it's ocean temperature only varies slightly?
The atmosphere has a lower heat capacity.
Do isotherms show a greater seasonal shift over land or ocean?
Isotherms, which are lines connecting areas with the same average temperature, generally exhibit a greater seasonal shift over land compared to the ocean. This is because land heats up and cools down more quickly than the ocean due to differences in heat capacity and heat transfer mechanisms. Therefore, the temperature variation on land between seasons is usually more pronounced than that over the ocean.
What is the capacity of an ocean liner?
10,000 tons
What is the capacity of ocean liners?
10,000 tons
Why does the ocean heat and cool more slowly than the atmosphere?
The ocean has a higher heat capacity.
Why does the ocean heat and cool more slowly than the atmoshpere?
the ocean has a higher heat capacity
What property of the ocean affects the climate the most?
Its heat capacity
How does the heat capacity of the ocean effect the temperature of the land?
it evaporates to weather
What property of ocean water affects climate most?
Its heat capacity
What property of ocean water affect climate the most?
Its heat capacity
Why ocean is slow to heat and slow to cool?
Water has a high heat capacity
Does the ocean heat and cool fast or slow?
The ocean heats up slowly due to the high specific heat capacity it possesses.
What has a capacity of 1 Liter but not all the water in the ocean doesn't fill it up?
Funnel
What happens when algae multiply in ocean out of control?
When algae multiplies in the ocean out of control they will eventually begin to die rapidly. This is because they have reached their carrying capacity.
