Answer 7

yes @Cosmichaotic is right as i also told in the above statement

Answer 8

i know it makes up most of the biosphere I just don't have a number to point to. Im assuming its around 90%

Answer 9

no it cant be 90% according to me

Answer 10

75% is even more likely, I would think. Again that is not proven, just a guess from what I have read and understand.

Answer 11

I thought that at first because oceans cover about 75% of earths surface, hmm maybe thats it though...

Answer 12

Oceans yes, but remember we have the air, rivers, lakes, underground, etc. where many ecosystems live, even in the icecaps!

Answer 13

yes thats true but if theres a number to go off of I'm saying ok so not 90% then it could be around 75%

Answer 14

I am starting to think more like 80% is aquatic... lol I think this is probably confusing you. I digress.

Answer 15

at first I said 90 but then you said 75 and the other guy said its not 90 lol. I'm a little confused.

Answer 16

must be around 75%

Answer 17

thankyou Abhisar

Answer 18

nopes @Cosmichaotic is correct since there are river, lake,pond etc also. So it should be around 75-80%
