Answer 1

Answer:

The land is the part of the world that is not permanently covered by water. It is the part of the world above sea level while the ocean is the part of the earth that is covered by salt water and usually below the see level. The ocean is about 3.7 kilometers deep (below the land) while the earth is usually any point higher than the ocean.

Earth's circumference is about 40,000 kilometers and include mountains, canyons, valleys. Mount Everest is seen as the highest points on Earth, with an height of about 8,848 meters (29,029 ft) above sea level. The sea or ocean has 6 layers, these are Epipelagic Zone (200 meters deep) Mesopelagic Zone (200 to 1000 meters deep)  , Bathypelagic Zone (1,000-4,000 meters deep) , Abyssopelagic Zone (4,000-6000 meters deep), Hadalpelagic Zone (6,000 – 11,000 meters deep) and are covered with water or ice.
