Answer:

The mass of the water on earth is 5.4537\times10^{20}\ kg

Explanation:

Given that,

Average depth h= 0.95 mi

h=0.95\times1.609

h =1.528\ km

h=1.528\times10^{3}\ m

Radius of earth r= 6.37\times10^{6}\ m

Density = 1000 kg/m³

We need to calculate the area of surface

Using formula of area

A =4\pi r^2

Put the value into the formula

A=4\pi\times(6.37\times10^{6})^2

A=5.099\times10^{14}\ m^2

We need to calculate the volume of earth

V = Area\times height

Put the value into the formula

V=5.099\times10^{14}\times1.528\times10^{3}

V=7.791\times10^{17}\ m^3

Now, 70 % volume of the total volume

V= 7.791\times10^{17}\times\dfrac{70}{100}

V=5.4537\times10^{17}\ m^3

We need to calculate the mass of the water on earth

Using formula of density

\rho = \dfrac{m}{V}

m = \rho\times V

Put the value into the formula

m=1000\times5.4537\times10^{17}

m =5.4537\times10^{20}\ kg

Hence, The mass of the water on earth is 5.4537\times10^{20}\ kg

Energy that is passed on from one trophic level to the next is called what?
yan [13]
Energy decreases as it moves uptrophic levels because energy is lost as metabolic heat when the organisms from one trophic level are consumed by organisms from the next level.Trophic level transfer efficiency (TLTE) measures the amount of energy that is transferred between trophic levels.
