Was all the land flat or where did the water go? Melt all the ice and empty all the clouds, rivers and lakes - you still won't have enough water to cover the continents.
- bpodgursky 7y agoIf the earth's landmass was flat, you don't need as much water to cover the continents. If the earth had just "recently" cooled from being a ball of magma, it makes sense that there weren't major upheavals yet. It was only after significant tectonic motion, subduction, etc, that you got the variety of geographic terrain and continents we have now.
