Question

How much part of the earth is covered by land?
A. 26%
B. 27%
C. 28%
D. 29%

Answer 1

Hint: As we all know we had seen the global map in geography books and other places we might have observed that the majority of it is covered by the blue portion.

Complete step by step answer:
The planet earth is the only planet in our solar system which sustains human life owing to certain special features present on it and among the most prominent is water. In simplest terms, the part of the earth can be divided into two parts- one covered by land and the other covered by water. The land covers about 29% of earth and the water covers 71% of it.

So, the correct answer is “Option D”.

Additional Information:
The shape of the earth is nearly spherical and the part that is covered with the land is rich with minerals and other precious elements. Earth is mainly composed of iron, oxygen, silicon and magnesium. Also as we were deep inside the land part, we found a variety of things at different-different depths. For example, as we started to go down first what we found is water which is fit for human consumption. But nowadays that water has become unfit because of its contamination with arsenic due to improper human practices including agriculture.

Note:
Also in this 71%, about 96% of water is contained in oceans and is unfit for human consumption. Only 4% of the water available is in freshwater bodies and is fit for human consumption.
