Easy, a liter is 10 cm cubed, and 10 cm equals 0.1 meter. So a liter is 0.1 meter cubed (0.1 x 0.1 x 0.1). Do the math and you find a liter is one thousanth of a cubic meter, i.e., there are a thousand liters in one cubic meter. Now, how many cubic meters in one cubic kilometer? That's one thousand meters cubed, or one billion cubic meters. Just multiply them and you get the answer (I can't do everything for you).

It would be utterly insignificant. The world's oceans contain about 1.37 billion cubic kilometers of water, or 1.37 * 10^21 liters. Removing 1% of the ocean's water would mean removing 1.37 * 10^19 liters. Dividing this task equally among 6.6 billion humans would mean that each human would have to remove 2.07 * 10^9 liters. That's 2,070,000 cubic meters per person. Each cubic meter has a mass of about 1025 kilograms, about the same as a small car. I don't know about you, but I'd have a hard time dragging that up the beach 2 million times.

That's easy. Figure how many liters in a cubic meter.

multiply by the # of cubic meters in a cubic kilometer.

If you understand the metric system, you should be able to do this one in your head.

Given that 1 liter = 1 dm^3 of water, we can calculate it.
1 km = 1000 m = 10000 dm = 10^4 dm
(10^4)^3 dm^3 = 10^12 dm^3 = 1 km^3

i think this would be a helpful cause to prevent climate change going any further by stopping the sea levels rising. it would not take away the water because think about the water underground not just in the oceans
