Question

Which does earth have more of: Dirt or Water? As far as coverage not mass.

Answer 1

Water, there are many under ground streams and springs that are not taken into account and some likely not yet discovered. Most of your soils such as heavy clay and mushroom soil contain water.

Answer 2

water covers about 70% of the earths surface so it's almost a 3:1 ratio of water to dirt in coverage.

Answer 3

Definitely water. It's like 2/3rds of the earth. Dirt has to be on dry land. Now if you're talking mud or water I don't know.

Answer 4

Dirt is connected in soil and soil is connected on land and land is just 30% percent of the earth and water is 70% percent of the earth. 70% is more than 30%.

Answer 5

I'm fairly sure that that would be water. something like 70% of the surface of the earth is covered by it.

Answer 6

Surface area: 510,065,600 km²
Land area: 148,939,100 km² (29.2 %)
Water area: 361,126,400 km² (70.8 %)

Looks like water wins out by quite a margin :)

70.8% Water

29.2% Dirt
