The Earth is huge and the oceans cover only a tiny sliver of the surface. Doesn't really surprise me. They said they only have evidence underneath Earth. Wheth

They said they only have evidence underneath Earth. Whether it's under other countries is still under investigation. To emphasize my point, note how he states that if this water were all to rise to the surface, then only the mountain tops would be visible.

- the_hangman 12y agoYes, but a surface is only two dimensions, and we're measuring a volume (three dimensions). The average depth of Earth's oceans is a paltry 4.3 km.

- DerpDerpDerp 12y agoExcept the water is almost entirely less than 5 miles deep, which is a sliver when we're talking about something with a radius 1000 times that.
