Cubic Mile
A cubic mile is a unit of volume representing the volume of a cube with sides measuring one mile each.
History/Origin
The cubic mile has been used historically in measuring large quantities of volume, particularly in geography and geology, especially in the context of large-scale water or earth volume measurements. Its usage stems from the imperial and US customary measurement systems.
Current Use
Today, the cubic mile is primarily used in scientific and environmental contexts to quantify large-scale volumes such as water reservoirs, oil reserves, and geological formations.
Stere
The stere (st) is a unit of volume used to measure large quantities of natural gas or other gases, equivalent to one thousand cubic meters (1,000 m³).
History/Origin
The stere originated in France in the 19th century as a practical unit for measuring natural gas volumes, particularly in the gas industry, and has been adopted in various countries for industrial and commercial purposes.
Current Use
Today, the stere is primarily used in the natural gas industry to quantify large volumes of gas, especially in regions where the metric system is standard, facilitating trade and regulation.
