To find the number of gallons released into the ocean in one year, we can 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, the Amazon River releases approximately 1.76 * 10^15 gallons of water into the Atlantic Ocean every year.
The Amazon River releases 5.5 * 10 ^ 7 gallons of water into the Atlantic Ocean every second. There are about 3.2 * 10 ^ 7 seconds in a year.
