Question

What is typical production rate of the world ocean if the age of water mass is 2000 yrs and the surface area is 3.62 1014 m2 and the average depth 3,730 m.

Answer 1

production rate = 6.75 ×
`10^(14)` m³/yr

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

age of water mass = 2000 yr

surface area = 3.62 ×
`10^(14)` m²

average depth = 3730 m

to find out

What is typical production rate of the world ocean

solution

we know that production rate formula that is express as

production rate =
`(volume )/(time)` .......................1

we know that volume = area × thickness

so put here value in equation 1

production rate =
`(3.62*10^(14) *3730 )/(2000)`

production rate = 6.75 ×
`10^(14)` m³/yr
