  2. Orders of magnitude (length) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(length)

    To help compare different orders of magnitude, this section lists lengths between 107 and 10 −6 m (100 nm and 1 μm). 100 nm – greatest particle size that can fit through a surgical mask [80] 100 nm – 90% of particles in wood smoke are smaller than this. [citation needed] 120 nm – greatest particle size that can fit through a ULPA ...

  3. Fathom - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fathom

    A fathom is a unit of length in the imperial and the U.S. customary systems equal to 6 feet (1.8288 m), used especially for measuring the depth of water. [1] The fathom is neither an international standard (SI) unit, nor an internationally accepted non-SI unit.

  4. List of lakes by depth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_lakes_by_depth

    Therefore, mean depth figures are not available for many deep lakes in remote locations. [9] The average lake on Earth has the mean depth 41.8 meters (137.14 feet) [ 9 ] The Caspian Sea ranks much further down the list on mean depth, as it has a large continental shelf (significantly larger than the oceanic basin that contains its greatest depths).

    This list of deepest mines includes operational and non-operational mines that are at least 2,212 m (7,257 ft), which is the depth of Veryovkina Cave, the deepest known natural cave in the world.

  7. Foot (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot_(unit)

    In both customary and imperial units, one foot comprises 12 inches, and one yard comprises three feet. Since an international agreement in 1959, the foot is defined as equal to exactly 0.3048 meters. Historically, the "foot" was a part of many local systems of units, including the Greek, Roman, Chinese, French, and English systems. It varied in ...

  8. Challenger Deep - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Challenger_Deep

    Their cruise was to test three new deep-sea landers, one uncrewed search submersible and the new Rainbow Fish 11,000-meter manned deep submersible, all capable of diving to 10,000 meters. From 25 to 27 December, three deep-sea landing devices descended into the trench.

  9. Altitude diving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altitude_diving

    At altitude 3,000 feet (910 m), P 1 = 0.7 bar (approximatelty), and at a depth of 10 m, P 2 = 1.7 bar, so V 2 /V 1 = 0.7/1.7 = 0.412 As a consequence, dry suit squeeze , mask squeeze , and ear and sinus squeezes will all develop more rapidly at higher altitude.
