Lower Vancouver

During low tide a 0.5m cubic hole is dug in the beach lowering the average elevation of the city by 0.00000000055 per cent.

114,670,000.0m2 Surface area of Vancouver*
2.0m Average elevation*
0.125m3 Volume of hole

114,670,000.0m2 × 2.0m = 229,340,000.0m3 Volume of Vancouver above sea level
229,340,000.0m3 - 000.125m3 = 229,339,999.875m3 Volume of Vancouver minus hole
229,339,999.875m3 ÷ 114,670,000.0m2 = 1.99999999891m New elevation of Vancouver
