This Is What the Earth Would Look Like Without Its Oceans
- JoeAltmaier 11y agoI would not call it beautiful. Color choices are appalling. False relief is way overdone. Arbitrary circles splotched everywhere cannot be real data, but statistical? Needs a designer to completely redo it.
- wruza 11y agoAltitudes are hugely scaled, btw. If it were a ball with radius of 10cm, then difference of ~30km would be: 10cm / 6300km * 30km == .0476cm (i.e. 0.5mm, almost invisible on display scale). Real highest and lowest marks are at ~9km above and ~10km below water line, iirc. Earth is completely round with and without water.
