This is a list of the 50 largest country subdivisions and dependent territories by area (including surface water) in square kilometres.

As a result of that contamination, three fourths of the island's surface area was currently unsuitable as a place to live.

The often very high surface area to volume ratio of nanoparticles provides a tremendous driving force for diffusion, especially at elevated temperatures.

The total surface area of its basin is about , the lake itself is 940 km2, and the volume is 34.0 billion m3.

One State which will not disappear but which risks losing a significant proportion of its surface area for environmental reasons is Bangladesh.

We believe that the oceans were in the northern hemisphere, and this area in blue, which shows a depression of about four miles, was the ancient ocean area on the surface of Mars.

In fact, there have been very few logging operations in the area, the surface of the lands subject to logging amounting to approximately 1.2 per cent of the area administered by the Committee.

The islands are low wetlands, elevated above the lake surface on average by only 1 2 m (maximum 4.5 m) and therefore suffer from floods.

In general, carbon block filters are more effective at removing a larger number of contaminants, based upon the increased surface area of carbon.
