Question

Given that the surface area of the oceans is approximately 361,000,000 km2, use the histogram of ocean area vs. depth (Figure 4-15) to estimate the total volume of the oceans. How does your result compare with the known ocean volume of 1,338,000,000 km3?

Answer 15

Lol I know...

Answer 16

wait why does it say mount everest on the graph?

Answer 17

never mind that, just tell me how can i find the depth.

Answer 18

well i can't know that without seeing the histogram. but if we assume the ocean is like a cuboid. and we know the surface area, so we know that lw + hl + wh = 361 whatever
and then the depth is the height, so w x h x l = whatever the number is
but then there's 3 variables. never mind that makes no sense.

Answer 19

the histogram is posted as an attached file.
