|---|---|---|
| 10 m | 155 km² | 3.3% |
| 20 m | 300 km² | 6.3% |
| 50 m | 582 km² | 12.2% |
| 80 m | 854 km² | 18% |
| 120 m | 1,339 km² | 28.2% |
| 200 m | 2,208 km² | 46.5% |
| 500 m | 4,752 km² | 100% |
| 1,000 m | 4,752 km² | 100% |
| 2,000 m | 4,752 km² | 100% |
| 3,000 m | 4,752 km² | 100% |
| 4,000 m | 4,752 km² | 100% |
| 6,000 m | 4,752 km² | 100% |
A simple bathtub model: it lowers the sea everywhere by the same amount and does not simulate how water would really drain.

Frequently asked questions
How deep is the Dixon Entrance?
On average about 207 m in the GEBCO grid (the middle value is 215 m). The deepest cell inside its outline is 482 m, at 54.29° N, 132.96° W.
How big is the Dixon Entrance?
About 4,752 km² of water inside its Natural Earth outline, counted from the grid cells that are below sea level.
How much of the Dixon Entrance would be land if sea level dropped?
With the sea 10 m lower, about 155 km² (3.3%) of its water would be land. At 6,000 m lower, 100% would be. This is a simple bathtub model that lowers the sea evenly everywhere.
