    1.6 × 10 −5 quectometers (1.6 × 10 −35 meters) – the Planck length (Measures of distance shorter than this do not make physical sense, according to current theories of physics.) 1 qm – 1 quectometer, the smallest named subdivision of the meter in the SI base unit of length, one nonillionth of a meter.

    There are additional platforms set at 3 metres (9.8 ft) and 1 metre (3.3 ft). Diving platforms for FINA sanctioned meets must be at least 6 metres (20 ft) long and 2 metres (6.6 ft) wide. Most platforms are covered by some sort of matting or non-slip surface to prevent athletes from slipping.

    This translates to a hoppus foot being equal to 1.273 cubic feet (2,200 in 3; 0.0360 m 3). The hoppus board foot, when milled, yields about one board foot. The volume yielded by the quarter-girth formula is 78.54% of cubic measure (i.e. 1 ft 3 = 0.7854 h ft; 1 h ft = 1.273 ft 3). [42]

    Image showing sea level change during the end of the last glacial period. Meltwater pulse 1A is indicated. Meltwater pulse 1A (MWP1a) is the name used by Quaternary geologists, paleoclimatologists, and oceanographers for a period of rapid post-glacial sea level rise, between 13,500 and 14,700 years ago, during which the global sea level rose between 16 meters (52 ft) and 25 meters (82 ft) in ...

    Some 80 km (50 mi) away, the low-lying Thousand Islands were submerged under 2 meters (6.6 feet) of seawater, forcing people to climb trees. [13] The tsunamis produced by the third explosion were the largest, although the first two explosions did produce smaller tsunamis. [14] The town of Merak was destroyed by a tsunami that was 46 metres high.

    A 6-meter (20 ft) long female great white, which the authors considered the largest 'reasonably trustworthy' total length, produced an estimate of 16.8 meters (55 ft). However, based on the largest female great white reported, at 7.1 meters (23 ft), they estimated a maximum estimate of 20.2 meters (66 ft). [35]
