Frequently asked questions
How deep is the Selat Bali?
On average about 179 m in the GEBCO grid (the middle value is 90 m). The deepest cell inside its outline is 1,095 m, at 8.78° S, 114.79° E.
How big is the Selat Bali?
About 2,870 km² of water inside its Natural Earth outline, counted from the grid cells that are below sea level.
How much of the Selat Bali would be land if sea level dropped?
With the sea 10 m lower, about 136 km² (4.7%) 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.
