About Cubic Kilometers
A cubic kilometre (km³) = 10⁹ m³ = 10¹² L. Lake Baikal: 23,615 km³ (world's largest freshwater lake by volume). Amazon River discharge: ~6,600 km³/year. Earth's total freshwater: ~35,000,000 km³; oceans: ~1,335,000,000 km³. Glaciologists track polar ice-sheet losses in km³/year as a key climate metric. 1 km³ = 10⁹ m³.
About Cubic Yards
A cubic yard (yd³) = 27 ft³ ≈ 764.6 L. Standard unit for bulk construction materials in the US: concrete pours, mulch, topsoil, gravel, and fill dirt are ordered and delivered by the yard. A standard concrete mixer truck carries 8-10 yd³. Earth-moving and landfill capacity are measured in millions of cubic yards. One yd³ of concrete ≈4,000 lb. 1 yd³ = 27 ft³ ≈ 764.6 L.
