    Answer: 0.005523 kilometer = 5.52 meter

    In this case, you are asked how much the water height and given the water volume (1.9 million cubic kilometers) and the earth area (344milion square kilometers).

    To answer this question you just need to divide the volume with the area. The calculation would be:

    Water height = volume / area = 1.9 million cubic kilometer / 344 million square kilometer = 0.005523 kilometer = 5.52 meter
