Amazon River releases 5.5 * 10 to the 7th gallons of water into the Atlantic Ocean every second there about 3.2 * 10 ^ 7 seconds in a year how many gallons were at least in the ocean in one year
To find out how many gallons were at least in the ocean in one year, we need to multiply the amount of water released by the Amazon River every second by the total number of seconds in a year.
The amount of water released by the Amazon River every second is 5.5 * 10^7 gallons.
The total number of seconds in a year is 3.2 * 10^7 seconds.
Multiplying these two values, we get:
(5.5 * 10^7 gallons/second) * (3.2 * 10^7 seconds/year) = 1.76 * 10^15 gallons.
Therefore, there were at least 1.76 x 10^15 gallons of water in the ocean in one year.
