To find the number of gallons released into the ocean in one year, we need to multiply the number of gallons released per second by the number of seconds in a year.
Number of gallons released per second: 5.5 x 10^7 gallons
Number of seconds in a year: 3.2 x 10^7 seconds
Total gallons released in one year = (5.5 x 10^7 gallons/second) * (3.2 x 10^7 seconds/year)
= (5.5 x 3.2) * (10^7 x 10^7) gallons
= 17.6 x 10^14 gallons
Therefore, approximately 17.6 x 10^14 gallons are released into the ocean in one year.
The amazon river releases 5.5 x 10^7 gallons of water into the Atlantic ocean every second. there are about 3.2 x 10^7 seconds in a year. how many gallons are released into the ocean in one year
