How much water is on Earth?

How much water is on Earth?

 

If this bubble burst:

If you put a (big) pin to this bubble, and the water flowed out to cover the contiguous United States (lower 48 states), the new "United States Ocean" would be about 107 miles deep.

This drawing shows the size of a sphere that would contain all of Earth's water in comparison to the size of the Earth. The blue sphere sitting on the United States, reaching from about Salt Lake City, Utah to Topeka, Kansas, has a diameter of about 860 miles (about 1,385 kilometers) , with a volume of about 332,500,000 cubic miles (1,386,000,000 cubic kilometers). The sphere includes all the water in the oceans, seas, ice caps, lakes and rivers as well as groundwater, atmospheric water, and even the water in you, your dog, and your tomato plant.

Are you surprised that this water sphere looks so small? It is only small in relation to the size of the Earth. Remember, this image is a representation of 3 dimensions, so you are looking at volumes. What it does show is that, in comparison to the globe, the oceans lie in a "thin film" of water on the outer surface.

The data used on this page comes from Igor Shiklomanov's estimate of global water distribution, shown in a table below the image.

I think the adults were ashamed of themselves.

We all should see this video and not forget that we still have hope, we still have a chance to change humanity. We think that everyone in Patana should watch this video to see an example on what kids can do to make a change, we don't have to leave it for the adults, we can make a difference for the world.

The adults don't seem to be doing too well right now, so you kids are our greatest hope. No pressure!
