the earth is covered by water....

The clouds on the photo
are tiny water dops or ice crystals. Less than one third of the earth are
land.
Left: This iceberg
(marked by 4 arrows) break off Antarctica. Scientists have measured that
it had the size of Jamaika. It is difficult to imagine such huge
quantities of water!
Even one litre is far too

portions and calculate volumes
