[@lukestrawwalker]

Good idea, but what you suggest would have MASSIVE research requirements and expertise to figure out, and take a LONG time. Another thing to consider is, the effect of lowered sea level on atmospheric pressure, as the Earth's atmosphere "floats" on the ocean and landmasses, and lowering the ocean level lowers the atmosphere to fill in the void. For instance, if Earth's oceans were mostly gone, most of the atmosphere would run down into the abyssal plains-- the continents would be miles higher and thus in MUCH thinner air, so most of the continents would be vast frozen windswept plateaus much like Tibet and the Himalayas are today. Meanwhile the greater depth of air in the abyssal plains would create adiabatic heating, and most of the abyssal plains would be scorchingly hot deserts, much like the land around the Dead Sea is today. Read the discoveries they've made about the Mediterranean Sea when it went dry several times in the past; it would have been up to 140-150 degrees F on the former seafloor, making it a lifeless desert, with temperatures perhaps soaring to 170 degrees in extreme conditions. There would have been a few salt marshes and lakes, fed by the runoff of rivers flowing into the Mediterranean basin off the continents of Africa and Europe, stabilized as the evaporation rates matched the inflow of water from these rivers (not least the Nile, among others). The salt layers miles thick on the floor of the Mediterranean speak to this past, as scientists believe that the Mediterranean was closed and open to the Atlantic ocean a number of times over the past few million years, periodically changing it from sea to desert. Later! OL J R :)

I think it's safe to say, America and future technologies will prevent the sinking of Florida. Florida houses too many cities and homes for it to just be forgotten and evacuated. However, it is fun to speculate what would it be like. I'm pretty sure if Florida were to sink, Miami would become the new "Atlantis" and would probably be some type of insane tourist diving spot.

[@retro34]

@@MintySpeedbuilds there'd not much they'll be able to do in order to prevent Florida from sinking. Other than slowing global warming back down all together, the only option I see for Florida's inevitable doom is to build a quay/wall or at the very least those drainage canals around the coast like they have in Asia for tsunamis. This of course would cost a lot of money, probably more money than the US government will care to spend. Best case scenario is they rehouse all those people into newly built cities further inland but most likely they'll be left to their own devices and the real estate prices will skyrocket, fucking over more and more people.

[@MintySpeedbuilds]

@@retro34 I severely doubt the government would let it come to that. Theirs just wayyyy to much investments put in place already for it all to go to waste.

I have sometimes wondered how human beings found their way to Hawaii thousands of years ago. - The closest land to Hawaii is Kiribati, over 1000 miles away. That would be a very very long and dangerous journey in dugouts. It would require a lot of paddling and carrying enough food and water for even a few people seems unlikely. - Even if they had larger, sailing vessels (unlikely) it seems like an unlikely journey. - And you would have to get a decent sized population there for healthy procreation. (It would require a lot of trips back and forth and without a good means of navigating you could easily miss the islands on the way back) - But a line of small islands from Asia, or a fairly close continent, would explain it.

[@fishergreer36]

[@lance3748]

@@fishergreer36 Maybe. And it's easy to imagine explorers accidentally finding some of these islands. But even with a capable ship how can you find your way back and forth to bring more people and supplies without a compass, charts, and other ways to navigate? Perhaps they did have some skills to navigate we don't know about but a strip of land to walk on, land that takes you all the way or most of the way, to Hawaii makes sense. It makes the trip far easier, much faster, less dangerous, and moving a sizable population more practical.

[@mr.slimeyt]

[@Hamilwhovian]

There was a big commercial and trading route between the Polynesian islands that went up to Hawaii and even the west coast of USA/Canada. Also, there are theories that some populations, during the last ice age, traveled from New Zealand and Australia to the coast of Chile and Peru. And, though a lot more recently, the vikings came to America from the north. Long ocean travel was hard, yes, but not impossible.

[@infinityonsighh]

@@lance3748 No, not maybe, they had catamarans- the ones we have today are modeled after theirs. Polynesian people were skilled navigators, we also know this to be fact. Viewing and understanding the stars as fixed celestial objects to be used as points of reference for terrestrial position to achieve navigation is not a feat limited to European colonizers.

@@l.r9443 The thing with land borders is they are abstract political barriers, and as they might follow certain geological features such as mountains, rivers or lakes, they often do not, and don't necessarily have to. So sadly, they don't really count, unlike more obvious and set in nature barriers, such as water-land barrier or elevation difference barrier.

8:52 With the development of seismic tomography, remnants of subducted plates, perhaps including the first plateaus made by the Hawaiian hot spot, may be seen slowly falling through the mantle.

[@MasterTMO]

Honest question: you said 'even without the water, the land shapes would still be the same as they are today', and I was wondering if that was 100% true. The general size and shape, yeah maybe, but does the weight of the water pushing down on the plates affect tectonics in any way, speeding parts up or slowing other parts down? #notageologist

[@Seriously_Unserious]

The weight of the water would push oceanic plates down. The lack of water would remove all water based erosion, leaving only wind and gravity erosion. Huge glaciers are also known to weigh land down, and can drip land by 100s of meters if the ice is thick enough (and therefore heavy enough). Were I am now, would have been underwater about 10,000 years ago, when the ice was melting but the land hadn't rebounded up with the loss of all that heavy 1km thick layer of ice. In fact, much of the main city of Vancouver and the low laying suburbs like Richmond, Burnaby, Surrey, Port Moodey, Coquitlam, etc would be under water, except for high hills and mountains.

[@johnromel9926]

The weight of the oceans do act upon the plates themseleves. This is the concept of isostasy, the effects of which Jason explains above. However, removing water from the oceans will be problematic for the balance of landscape-altering processes (what shapes the land). Geological and climate processes would change. Volcanoes fed by trenches (think Andes, Japan, Lesser Antilles, etc.) would shift locations as they lose the water-rich sediments that fuel the magma melting zones below these volcanoes. Erosion would shift to be more wind-dominated, as surface water distribution has changed drastically. Sedimention would also shift in response to the lack of oceans. It also throws the climate so far out of whack that you can say anything climate-related is affected, and that includes vegetation, whose effects on shaping the landscape cannot be understated. There are certainly even more effects to the landscape as a result of losing the water in the oceans, these are the ones that I can think of.

[@Seriously_Unserious]

@@johnromel9926 Water plays such a massive role in our planetary conditions, for sure. If we were to remove much of the water from our oceans, that water would have to either become locked up in ice, to the magnitude of a 3rd "snowball Earth" degree, where Earth essentially becomes an ice world with glaciers extending right to the equator, or locked up in the atmosphere as cloud and water vapor. Contrary to popular belief, water is actually one of the strongest greenhouse gasses in our atmosphere, despite all the publicity CO2 gets. If that much water were to exist in our atmosphere, Earth would heat up massively and rapidly to Venus like temperatures and conditions. Earth's atmosphere would become as thick and corrosive as that of Venus, as well as being in the 800 C range of temperatures. So basically, what shapes the landscapes of Earth would be VERY different indeed without all that water in our oceans. Fire or ice, choose your poison if the water is move from the Oceans.
