rochelimit's hangout that's actually just a lie made up by scientists because there are only 8.7 million life forms in the world and plenty of which are on earth
It's not a lie, seriously, you say that, but people still haven't explored the entire ocean, actually, in 2016, we only managed to discover about 5% of the ocean, it's so big, but so big, it must have so many fucking lots of fucking millions of fucking creatures, m8!

+Mad Though That's impossible. Even if you've had sex with 0 people that implies at least 1 person has got lost on the way to the moon, which is not true.
No one ever mentions how thin (shallow) the ocean really is when the whole globe is in view. Compare 11km, the single deepest bit of the ocean, with how 11km would be seen sideways. Considering Earth's diameter is less more than 12 thousand kilometers, 11km is thin as the thinnest wrap.
Well, the video does say how deep the deepest part of the ocean is.... I don't think we need someone to condescendingly tell us that the ocean depth is small compared to the earth lol
+TG CoffeePlus I honestly thinks the damage of making your computer is roughly a thousand times larger that that.Please always think about your error before denying one's

Great video! I'm so glad that you took the time to remind to us about looking after the ocean and helping it so it can continue being awesome. That's very important!
Its so big its practically incomprehensible... And then you realize we live on a single planet, in a single galaxy in the universe, and that our nearest star (which isn't even close to some of the bigger stars) is 1.3 million times bigger than the earth. Its amazing.

we dont even know for sure what space is composed of or the things around the solar system and we cant even leave the solar system, how is that compared to the ocean?
A recent visit into Challenger Deep, as discussed on NPR, found what appeared to be the presence of plastic waste. The scientist being interview hastened to add it was not a lot, but there it was😢.
I was hoping for a measurement of "If the Ocean was a planet" I know the surface is 70% ocean, but what percent of Earth's mass is ocean. I am disappointed that this question was not answered.
The Mass of Earth is 5.97219e24 kilograms The Mass of The Oceans if 1.3e21 kilograms So on doing the division, you get 4.59e-3 Which is 0.021 % of the total mass of Earth! I hope that answers your question. :)
I found this videos so interesting and it likes me the way that makes you think about the topic it's talking about, and the last part make you reflect about the way we affect the enviroment.
They forgot the mention that the ocean accounts for very little of Earth's volume. The ocean only goes about 11.03km down (Challenger Deep @ Mariana Trench), but on sea level, the center of Earth is 6,371km away. Far, far, far more than the oceans volume. So, Water goes to 11 km; land goes to 6,300 km. See the difference? In simple perspective, Earth is 1.8321 TRILLION 1,083,210,000,000 cubic kilometers in volume, and the ocean is just 1.3 BILLION cubic kilometers or 1,300,000,000. In ratio its about 130/10,8321.
Land doesn't go 6,371 km. Land, as we call it, only goes down to 5 - 70 km. Below that's it's hardly land. The asthenosphere is a sort of soft solid, while the mantle and outer core are completely liquid. The inner core is solid though, but that's just because of its density.
I loved loved loved this! It kept me riveted the entire video. Good job explaining everything. It was done in a way that was easy to understand and at the same time entertaining. Thanks... I am subscribing
Nevermind, I just realized they were a distant school of fish, but the way they were arranged and the compression of the video made them look like numbers or letters.
Why do you count that hawaiian mountain from the ocean floor but you don't do the same for everest? Yeah, there's continental land attached to it, but that can just be considered a flatter part of it's mountain range.
The examples in the video were for the US, here they are for the UK. All the oceans' water would cover the US 130 km deep, the UK would be under 5298 km of water. The square area of the water would cover 36 US's or 1444 UK's. This is based on square areas of 244,820 and 9,826,675 for the UK and US; I used a multiplier of 40.138. Personally, I think they should have used Pangaea for comparison (no flag). Have a great day people.
I love the ocean - it contains my favorite animals and I would love to see it every day, just hear it and see it's vastness. Videos like that give me an uneasy, almost painful feeling. How could humanity screw that up so bad... It'll survive, yes. And It's adapting. But it is truly tragic what has already happened and will happen for quite some time until there is something like a global evolution of our minds and I'm afraid I won't be able to witness this in my years to come on this planet.
To think that we've explored less than 5% of the ocean- yet people seem to assume everything in the ocean in accounted for.. Goes to show how presumptuous humans can get when it comes to "what they know"
And are you doing anything about it? No. Don’t act like you’re perfect because you acknowledge it and do something if you actually care instead of talking about it in UA-cam comments go and do something.
I'm not trying to be bias or anything along those lines, but for be fair the size of the US does make it very good reference in relating other, larger, object to it allowing for a good comparison. With a smaller country like Great Britain or Finland it makes for a slightly more difficult analogy.
now that you have a vague idea of the scale of the ocean, consider this: in 1 cup of water (half a liter) there are more molecules of water than there are cups of water in the entire ocean. 1,300,000,000 KM^3 times 1,000,000,000,000 liters per KM^3 times 2. that's 2,600,000,000,000,000,000,000 half liter cups. molecules are tiny
After watching this video, I really feel bad for the ocean and its marine animals and life in general with all the ways we are polluting the water. Specially in countries like India. We need to do something about it, or life will go down in the drains.
May I ask you a question? Is the Occidental World having some sort of grudge with we Indians? It seems to be as if we are the only one on this planet who have caused aaaallll sorts of bad things like pollution.

Milind Tripathi I mean, I love the ocean more than the next guy, but I came here to find out how big the ocean is, not how to protect it. I'm fully aware of all the pollution in the ocean.
@@you_just most people don't care about the environment, that is why we should bring attention to it, pretty simple, and it doesn't make the video worse it gives the message"the ocean is big and important" it's meaning. If you just wanted the question to be answered you could have just googled.
Well done. I wish carbon footprints were mentioned in some small way. Not throwing your trash into a river that leads to the ocean isn't the only think you can do(or not do). The oceans pH is changing because of us.
Zenziba95 said "siphon." He means to use a tube (diameter does not matter above 1/16" or so) to use the vacuum of space to suck the oceans up. It won't work. A vacuum is the strongest suction you can have. Now, with a strong pump, you can PUSH the water up. But that is not using a vacuum. That is INcreasing the pressure, not decreasing it, as in a vacuum.
Why do ppl think Mt Everest is the highest... I dont know why does it matter if something is above sea level when we live in a kind of spherical planet so hight should be measured from the center of that sphere which makes Chimborazo the highest
The mid atlantic ridge is not 65000 km long... the earths circumference is only about 40 000km long. Some would argue that because it has a very jagged profile, it can be longer than the circumference of the Earth. While true, they forget that the mid-atlantic ridge covers only half the planet. So even stretched out, it wouldn't reach 65000km long. Its more like 10 000 km
There are also underwater rivers too! The underwater waterfalls work on the idea of temperature differentials. As you know hot air rises and cold air sinks. It is the same way with water since as water heats up it gets closer to being gaseous and as it gets cooler it gets more solid. So warmer water hits a sudden drop in the seafloor where the temperature decreases rapidly and this causes the water to "fall" down to the cold area.
I agree completely. It is almost as if other countries don't exist. The Americans don't mind, obviously, because it's their country, but there are other viewers from around the world.
I would have liked to see a a 3D map of earths surface drained of all its waters to asses for my self how the geographical features look like under water. Why educators are always patterned to give only one side of a truth: yes, water makes 70% of planet earth surface.,and the video said it comprises 360 billion cubic kilometers .that's fine.But it failed to mention How much is the ratio between the bulk of oceans compared to the bulk of earth itself? i think it is a negligible fraction. How deep the waters would be if the earths surface were evenly planed with no mountains or ridges or ravines or islands ? 3 km /4 km ?
+미셜비 It said it would cover an area as big as the US under a depth of 132 kms.It limited the area to the US only not to all smooth earth. Does the stratosphere reach up to 132 kms? NO. How deep is the deepest point in ocean? Its 11.6 kms (in the pacific ocean) ,so the average depth of all the oceans on the whole surface of earth would be some thing between 0 - 11.6 which would result in a constant definitely below 5,8 kms NOT 132 kms
+محمد سعيد حمد I'm quite sure they made a mistake on factors of 10. 360 billion would put us all under hundreds of km of water! Let's say they meant 3.6 billion km^3 surface area of a sphere is 4π r² for the earth r is approximately 10000 km. Depth would be volume divided by surface area. (3.6 * 10^9) / 400000000 π = 36 /4π km = 9/π km So assuming they where out by a factor of 100 we would be under a 9/π km of water if the earth was perfectly spherical. Slightly under 3 km.
Correct around 3km is the depth. Where did it all come from? I think it juiced out of the earth interior , being under pressure from thousands of kilometers thick layers of molten and solid rock. The best place for it is to be in the crust and above. Thats the reason why there is no water on Mars. All its waters are still trapped in the whole mass of the planet. Not that it lost it to space
محمد سعيد حمد someone on on another post says they said 1.1billion and 360 was something else wiki says 1.1 billion so it looks like it might actually be more like just under 1km . Both 1km and 3km sound about right 300km though dosn't .
+محمد سعيد حمد Fun facts to say here: we(humanity) don't know how the ocean acctually looks geographicaly speaking in the bottom , why!?: because we know about 4% of the ocean and 98% of the moon. For more we know what it is up there in the space almost no one knows what is in the bottom of ocean of our big and blu planet Earth.
Good video, but water drop at 0:54 is misleading, and there is no mention of ocean water volume (or mass) to earth volume (or mass), about 1 to 800 (or 1 to 4500).
The 99 percent biosphere thing blew my mind

How big is the ocean?

Me: It's very big 🙂
now that you have a vague idea of the scale of the ocean, consider this: in 1 cup of water (half a liter) there are more molecules of water than there are cups of water in the entire ocean. 1,300,000,000 KM^3 times 1,000,000,000,000 liters per KM^3 times 2. that's 2,600,000,000,000,000,000,000 half liter cups. molecules are tiny

1Hm=100M
1Km=1000M
They also use other units of measurement like:Feet(ft),Yard(Yd),Miles(???),Inch(???) or Light years or something...even Exameter(bigger than light year)(i think it's something)or other...
@TED-Ed You might not read this, but the english subtitle is not in sync with the video; it is ahead of the VO.
every video about the earth eventually devolves into an environmental "save the ocean" video
er, devolves? honestly, DEVOLVES?
Milind Tripathi what's wrong with the word "devolves?"
You_just It implies that they become the worse for talking about it.
Milind Tripathi I mean, I love the ocean more than the next guy, but I came here to find out how big the ocean is, not how to protect it. I'm fully aware of all the pollution in the ocean.
@@you_just most people don't care about the environment, that is why we should bring attention to it, pretty simple, and it doesn't make the video worse it gives the message"the ocean is big and important" it's meaning. If you just wanted the question to be answered you could have just googled.
OMG! This video is awesome, my teacher shows me and it’s nice! Good job.
I was the 1,000,000th view of this video! #LoveTED-ED
Well done. I wish carbon footprints were mentioned in some small way. Not throwing your trash into a river that leads to the ocean isn't the only think you can do(or not do). The oceans pH is changing because of us.
2:35 that voicecrack XD
This day a legend was borned.
How big is the ocean?
BIG
This should have more views.
How Deep Is Your Love?
Zenziba95 said "siphon." He means to use a tube (diameter does not matter above 1/16" or so) to use the vacuum of space to suck the oceans up. It won't work. A vacuum is the strongest suction you can have. Now, with a strong pump, you can PUSH the water up. But that is not using a vacuum. That is INcreasing the pressure, not decreasing it, as in a vacuum.
Since mt everst is on land just like hawaii, couldn't you say that the land continues to the ocean floor? That makes mt everest the tallest.
mt everest isnt surrounded by water, so no it would still not be considered the tallest.
from sea level mount ev is the tallest
from the core Chimborazo is the tallest
Why do ppl think Mt Everest is the highest... I dont know why does it matter if something is above sea level when we live in a kind of spherical planet so hight should be measured from the center of that sphere which makes Chimborazo the highest
I love you Scott
No I love them more
@@The_Demon_Frog_ no I do
Like how he got us to imagine being at the beach
Such a deep and inspiring video...
*throws empty soda can into the ocean*
Melissa LOL
Melissa LOL
Melissa Don't.
Melissa that’s not funny. It’s a serious issue.
Why do people laugh? That's a serious issue, don't joke on it, or everyone on this planet might die.
I like how the Captions are ahead of the video.
I don't feel bad wasting water anymore... Lol jk I still care
The mid atlantic ridge is not 65000 km long... the earths circumference is only about 40 000km long. Some would argue that because it has a very jagged profile, it can be longer than the circumference of the Earth. While true, they forget that the mid-atlantic ridge covers only half the planet. So even stretched out, it wouldn't reach 65000km long. Its more like 10 000 km
Fun fact: More people have been in space than there have been to India.
Depends on what you define as "space", i agree tho
More people are in water than are eaten in Sri Lanka
and we are still killing it!
I bet it's not as dense as a nucleus
There are also underwater rivers too! The underwater waterfalls work on the idea of temperature differentials. As you know hot air rises and cold air sinks. It is the same way with water since as water heats up it gets closer to being gaseous and as it gets cooler it gets more solid. So warmer water hits a sudden drop in the seafloor where the temperature decreases rapidly and this causes the water to "fall" down to the cold area.
Mind=BLOWN!
I agree completely. It is almost as if other countries don't exist. The Americans don't mind, obviously, because it's their country, but there are other viewers from around the world.
soooo Mermaids?
We will have mermaids at 70%
Please fix the captions! They're timed incorrectly!
1 advice to video makers .
The sun does not revolve around USA.
Stop referencing distance ,volume in terms of USA.
I don't understand a Damn thing.
Akshay Bhardwaj lol
Odd. Thought you foreigners knew it all and it was Americans that are morons.
That's ur problem
theres something called LEARNING
@@12icki there is something called "use the universal misure unit" in science
Splendid... always extraordinary.... Thank you and God bless you
Aquaman still sucks!
cool2beliving I agree
Not anymore he doesnt.
It's because of this type of thinking our world is facing so many environmental problems.
I would have liked to see a a 3D map of earths surface drained of all its waters to asses for my self how the geographical features look like under water. Why educators are always patterned to give only one side of a truth: yes, water makes 70% of planet earth surface.,and the video said it comprises 360 billion cubic kilometers .that's fine.But it failed to mention How much is the ratio between the bulk of oceans compared to the bulk of earth itself? i think it is a negligible fraction. How deep the waters would be if the earths surface were evenly planed with no mountains or ridges or ravines or islands ? 3 km /4 km ?
+미셜비 It said it would cover an area as big as the US under a depth of 132 kms.It limited the area to the US only not to all smooth earth. Does the stratosphere reach up to 132 kms? NO. How deep is the deepest point in ocean? Its 11.6 kms (in the pacific ocean) ,so the average depth of all the oceans on the whole surface of earth would be some thing between 0 - 11.6 which would result in a constant definitely below 5,8 kms NOT 132 kms
+محمد سعيد حمد
I'm quite sure they made a mistake on factors of 10. 360 billion would put us all under hundreds of km of water!
Let's say they meant 3.6 billion km^3
surface area of a sphere is 4π r² for the earth r is approximately 10000 km. Depth would be volume divided by surface area.
(3.6 * 10^9) / 400000000 π = 36 /4π km = 9/π km
So assuming they where out by a factor of 100 we would be under a 9/π km of water if the earth was perfectly spherical. Slightly under 3 km.
Correct around 3km is the depth. Where did it all come from? I think it juiced out of the earth interior , being under pressure from thousands of kilometers thick layers of molten and solid rock. The best place for it is to be in the crust and above. Thats the reason why there is no water on Mars. All its waters are still trapped in the whole mass of the planet. Not that it lost it to space
محمد سعيد حمد someone on on another post says they said 1.1billion and 360 was something else wiki says 1.1 billion so it looks like it might actually be more like just under 1km . Both 1km and 3km sound about right 300km though dosn't .
+محمد سعيد حمد Fun facts to say here: we(humanity) don't know how the ocean acctually looks geographicaly speaking in the bottom , why!?: because we know about 4% of the ocean and 98% of the moon.
For more we know what it is up there in the space almost no one knows what is in the bottom of ocean of our big and blu planet Earth.
I love TED Ed. Keep up the Good work
"Let that sink in" Hehe... sinking jokes...
no idea but i think he just means the under water current so its kinda like a waterfall with warm and cold water.
"What we know is a drop what we don't know is an ocean" - Jonas in Netflix Dark
That's a great line.
Good video, but water drop at 0:54 is misleading, and there is no mention of ocean water volume (or mass) to earth volume (or mass), about 1 to 800 (or 1 to 4500).
But of course, the earth couldn't have possibly been subject to a worldwide flood.
If you bring the underwater chamber they discovered recently, scientists says that it could cover the whole land.. Just saying..
Jerome Quejano Lol I know. I was being facetious.
Jerome Quejano Where can I read that?
no it could happen....but without leaving any trace in the geologic record....now that would be impossible.
terminat1 then why are different fossils in completely different rock layers. And these layers are dated much older then a couple thousand years.
