Re: How much asphalt concrete in total covers the earth? Hi Harald - Your question can be answered by searching one of the free search engines on the WWW. We recommend the following sites: Google: http://www.google.com/ Yahooligans (Webguide for Kids): http://www.yahooligans.com/ Wikipedia (Free encyclopedia): http://en.wikipedia.org/ Try a search on Google for how many square miles of asphalt cover the earth Some websites give calculations for the US and other industrialized nations. You might be able to approximate for that covering the earth. Hope this helps..
