Another expert said Pakistan has 2,066
cubic kilometer glaciers but they are melting due to rise in temperature.
The amount of water transported is tremendous--approximately 107 cubic meters per second--and the mixing power created by the breaking internal gravity waves that would be necessary to push that deep water back to the surface would be equivalent to about 10 incandescent light bulbs per
cubic kilometer of ocean.
But these layers are sparse: the team estimates that there should be only one millimeter-size diamond per
cubic kilometer of atmosphere in Saturn's diamond layer, and a factor of 20 less on Jupiter.
The team expects to complete an observatory measuring about 1
cubic kilometer by 2009-2010 that is about 20,000 times the capacity of the gigantic underground neutrino detector named Super Kamiokande in Hida, Gifu Prefecture.
Helens shot about 1
cubic kilometer of ash into the air, but Mount Mazama's eruptions fired 100
cubic kilometers of material so high into the atmosphere it probably altered the region's weather.
A mere 1
cubic kilometer of Phoebe dust, ejected by impacts, could account for the entire big ring.
Total freshwater withdrawn from surface and groundwater sources worldwide in 1990 has been estimated to be about 3,000
cubic kilometers (km3) [1
cubic kilometer = 0.24 cubic mile].
In the mid-1800s, gold mining released more than a
cubic kilometer of mercury-laden sediments into Northern California's Sierra Nevada foothills.
The average annual renewable groundwater resources of Pakistan are around fifty five
cubic kilometers while the pumping rate is more than sixty
cubic kilometers.
The eruptions propelled as much as 3 million
cubic kilometers of ash high into the air over this extended period.
