[QUOTE="driewerf, post: 75222549, member: 258809"] According to (1) and (2), all the seas and oceans combined contain 1.36 billion km³ of water. Taking the Mount Everest at 8 kilometers, and the Earth radius at 6371 km. So to cover the Earth with flood waters you need to fill a shell of water with the thickness of the Mount Everest. The volume of the shell, is given by: V= 4/3 * Pi* (R³-r³) Filling in the numbers give a required volume of water of 4 083 570 535 km³. That's more than 4 billion km³ that you need to cover the earth, to the height of Mount Everest. Explain where 4 billion km³ came from and where it went. Explain why we didn't find it (yet).
