| 10 m | 67 km² | 4.6% |
| 20 m | 166 km² | 11.6% |
| 50 m | 512 km² | 35.6% |
| 80 m | 728 km² | 50.6% |
| 120 m | 952 km² | 66.2% |
| 200 m | 1,167 km² | 81.1% |
| 500 m | 1,439 km² | 100% |
| 1,000 m | 1,439 km² | 100% |

Frequently asked questions
How deep is the Cordova Bay?
On average about 111 m in the GEBCO grid (the middle value is 78 m). The deepest cell inside its outline is 1,079 m, at 55.00° N, 132.81° W.
How big is the Cordova Bay?
About 1,439 km² of water inside its Natural Earth outline, counted from the grid cells that are below sea level.
How much of the Cordova Bay would be land if sea level dropped?
With the sea 10 m lower, about 67 km² (4.6%) 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.
