Calculate the total mass of water in kg on Earth's surface from the following data: total planetary surface area: 510,066,000 km

2, land area of planet: 148,647,000 km2 , assume the average depth of water is:100.0km and the density of water is 1.00g/mL

Answer:

The total mass of water in on Earth's surface is 3.61419\times 10^{22} kg.

Explanation:

Total planetary surface area = T = 510,066,000 km^2

Total land area of planet = L = 148,647,000 km^2

Total water area of planet = W

T = L + W

510,066,000 km^2=148,647,000 km^2-W

W=510,066,000 km^2-148,647,000 km^2=361,419,000 km^2

Volume = Area × Depth

Volume of water on earth = V

V= 361,419,000 km^2\times 100 km^=36,141,900,000 km^3

km^3=10^{12} L

V=36,141,900,000 km^3=36,141,900,000 \times 10^{12} L

Total mass of total water on the earth = M

Density of the water,D = 1 g/mL = 0.001 kg/0.001 L=1 kg/L

1 g - 0.001 kg

1 mL = 0.001 L

D=\frac{M}{V}

M=D\times V

M =1 kg/L\times 36,141,900,000 \times 10^{12} L=3.61419\times 10^{22} kg

The total mass of water in on Earth's surface is 3.61419\times 10^{22} kg.

What other data do you think we could look at to help us gauge a country’s level of development? Why would it help?
babunello [35]
GDP, which we use right now, to see how many people have jobs, at what income, to decide how good the economy is. We could possibly use population density, as poorer countries/less developed countries tend to be more dense all around. Mainly economic things though, so GDP, income per capita. We use life expectancy, rate of literacy, freedom index..hope this helps

Why do mountains form around big bend
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

The bends causes the overlaying of a crustal layer upon other layer. It results the formation of mountain on the overlying layer.

Explanation:

The big bends on the earth crust are the big faults. This fault formed due to the overlaying of a layer with other layers. The overlying crustal layer has deposits of lands on it and forms big mountains. This is a continuous and slow process. Sometimes the tectonic plate movement results in a sudden rise of some lands, and this forms new tabletop land and also dome mountains. The mountains are always formed due to the fault of the crust which are the bends on the earth.  The mountains also formed due to a volcanic eruption. Such mountains are known as volcanic or igneous mountains. This is the very reason the mountains form around big bends

Retrograde metamorphism a. happens under conditions of increasing temperature and pressure. b. may happen as regression brings r
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

b. may happen as regression brings rock closer to the Earth's surface.  

Explanation:

The term metamorphism when applied to geology refers to the changes that occur between rocks that allow them to form into different rocks over a cycle. Within this process, there is a type of metamorphism known as retrograde metamorphism, which occurs when there is a regression that brings rocks close to the surface and promotes a decrease in temperature and pressure.
