To determine the total number of gallons released into the ocean in one year, multiply the amount of water released per second by the number of seconds in a year:
5.5 * 10 ^ 7 gallons/second * 3.2 * 10 ^ 7 seconds/year = 1.76 * 10 ^ 15 gallons/year
Therefore, approximately 1.76 x 10^15 gallons of water are released into the Atlantic Ocean by the Amazon River in one year.
