About Cubic Miles
A cubic mile (mi³) ≈ 4.168 km³ = 4.168 × 10¹² L. Lake Superior: ~2,900 mi³ (world's largest freshwater lake by surface area). Total volume of all glaciers and ice caps (excl. Antarctica and Greenland): ~170,000 mi³. Volcanic magma chamber sizes and major US aquifer volumes are sometimes quoted in cubic miles in American geoscience literature. 1 mi³ ≈ 4.168 km³.
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.
