Water and air in the world

In the image you can see the exact visual ratio of water and air, which are available for our planet. The picture shows the Earth itself is depicted in gray. Closer to the center there are two balls - blue and silver sheen, clearly showing the amount of the two most important components of life on our terms - water and air.

All the world's water and ice fields, including five oceans and ice crust around Greenland, Antarctica and the Arctic are included in this little blue bubble located in the center of the image. Furthermore, also included here, all the water and water vapor contained in the atmosphere. Just imagine how really small reserves of this precious liquid substance for life we ​​have left.

Silver bubble image shows the volume of the entire atmosphere of our Earth. He is a little larger than a blue bubble, but still - just imagine what a small part in relation to the whole planet it occupies. To visualize the aspect ratio of the density of air in the bubble is one atmosphere, which is approximately equal to the density of the air above the sea level, according to the portal Gizmodo.

The image above was created based on the concept of Adam Nieman, speaker at the Earth Summit in 2002 in Johannesburg.
