How much salt is in the earth's oceans?
We have three ways to say this answer.
A link is provided below.
- The salt content of the earth's oceans is on the order of about 3.5%, or 35 parts per thousand (35 ppt). The volume of salt is something approaching 14,000,000 cubic kilometers. The number is so large, it is hard to comprehend. Is 1.4 x 1010 kilograms any more comprehensible? Again, those last two numbers are just a ball park upper limit. But gosh, they're big.
- There are 11,000,000 cubic miles of salt in the ocean....3.5% of the mass of the entire ocean.
- There are about 45 500 000 000 000 000 meters cube of salt in all of the ocean!!
- if you lay out all the salt in the ocean it will wrap around the earth one time and be as tall as a 40 story building!
It is assumed that this is based on a volume of ocean water 1,300,000,000 km3
or 310,000,000 cubic miles.
