How many fluid ounces are in the U.S. lakes?Include lake names and amount of water.

The Great Lakes (Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, and
Superior) comprise the largest unfrozen freshwater system on Earth, and have a surface
area greater than the United Kingdom.  The surface area and average depth of each of the
lakes is as follows:

H - 59,596 km^2 59
m

O - 19,477 19

M - 58,016
84

E - 25,719 19

S - 82,413
397

The volume of water (in cubic kilometers, or km^3) for
each lake is the surface area times the average depth:

H -
59,596 km^2  (.059 m)  = 3516 km^3

O - 19,477 (.019) =
370

M - 58,016 (.084) = 4873

E
- 25,719 (.019)     =  489

S - 82,413 (.397)     =
 32718

The total cubic volume of the Great Lakes (in cubic
kilometers, of course) is the sum of the last column, or 41966
km^3.

Now 1 cubic kilometer is equal to 33,814,022,701,000
US fluid ounces. That means  41966 cubic kilometers of water is equal to
141,903,927,670,000,000 fl oz., or 1.419 x 10^17 fl oz, or about 142 quadrillion fluid
ounces.  Splish splash!!
