It covers about 71% of the Earth's surface.
The Pacific Ocean covers about 28% of the global surface. It is larger than the total land area of the world.
It covers about 71% of the Earth's surface.
The oceans cover an area of 71% of the Earth's surface.
The pacific ocean.
The pacific is by far the largest ocean, the Atlantic is next & then the Indian ocean.
Continents cover about 29% of the Earth's surface area. The rest of the surface is predominantly ocean.
no water covers 71% of the earths surface and land 29%
The ocean that has the largest surface area is the Pacific Ocean. The Pacific Ocean is around 165.25 million square kilometers in area.
The Pacific Ocean
the answer is (area)
Less than 1%. I hope that wasn't a question in your homework. The previous answer was ridiculously wrong! I did the math, and they cover nearly 7%. Check it for yourself - the surface area of the world is 510 million square kilometres, and the surface area of the oceans is 361 million square kilometres. Coral reefs cover nearly 10% of the ocean's total area. 36.1 million over 510 million x 100 gives you just over 7%, but the real figure is slightly less because coral reefs account for NEARLY 10% of the ocean's surface area. Even if it was 9.5% of the ocean's area, coral reefs still cover over 6.7% of the world's total surface area. Hope this helps!
Earth's oceans cover about 70% of the planet's surface.
