You dropped some zeros. A billion liters is a cube 100 meters on a side, more like a drop than an ocean.

- pavement 12y agoWait, you're right. I think I dropped about maybe 4 zeroes off the exponential notation. Strike the "billion" and make it like 10^11th or 10^12th power. Either way, I think the ratios still work.
- pavement 12y ago...and oh yeah, by the way, my units were the wrong order of magnitude; should've been kiloliters (not just liters), on top of the exponential notation.
