Question

Oceans cover approximately __________ of the earth’s surface.

• A. 90%
• B. 30%
• C. 70%
• D. 100%

Answer 1

The correct option is C

70%

The ocean covers more than 70 percent of the surface of our planet. It's hard to imagine, but about 97 percent of the Earth's water can be found in our oceans. Of the tiny percentage that's not in the ocean, about two percent is frozen up in glaciers and ice caps.
