|---|---|---|
| 10 m | 362 km² | 5% |
| 20 m | 685 km² | 9.6% |
| 50 m | 1,396 km² | 19.5% |
| 80 m | 2,195 km² | 30.6% |
| 120 m | 3,426 km² | 47.8% |
| 200 m | 4,573 km² | 63.8% |
| 500 m | 6,760 km² | 94.3% |
| 1,000 m | 7,167 km² | 100% |
| 2,000 m | 7,167 km² | 100% |
| 3,000 m | 7,167 km² | 100% |
| 4,000 m | 7,167 km² | 100% |

Frequently asked questions
How deep is the Frobisher Bay?
On average about 192 m in the GEBCO grid (the middle value is 127 m). The deepest cell inside its outline is 721 m, at 63.10° N, 67.51° W.
How big is the Frobisher Bay?
About 7,167 km² of water inside its Natural Earth outline, counted from the grid cells that are below sea level.
How much of the Frobisher Bay would be land if sea level dropped?
With the sea 10 m lower, about 362 km² (5%) 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.
