What is a teraliter used to measure?

A teraliter measures very large volumes, typically on the scale of cubic kilometres, such as the capacity of large lakes, reservoirs, or ice sheets.

How many cubic metres are in one cubic mile?

One cubic mile is equivalent to approximately 4.168 × 10⁹ cubic metres.

Why convert teraliters to cubic miles?

Converting to cubic miles helps communicate large volumes in units familiar to certain regions or disciplines, aiding clarity in reporting and comparison.
