Distribution (by volume) of water on Earth

Distribution (by volume) of water on Earth

Visualization of the distribution (by volume) of water on Earth. Each tiny cube (such as the one representing biological water) corresponds to approximately 1000 km³ of water, with a mass of about 1 trillion tonnes (200000 times that of the Great Pyramid of Giza). The entire block comprises 1 million tiny cubes.
