@@benlevy48 According to my calculations, once drained the sea floor would actually be on average close to that of the death valley in the summer! That is unless heat waves cause it to get as hot as 140-170 degrees (F), but the distant oceans from the distance may regulate the temperatures at lower altitudes. I calculated average summer highs would be 105-130 (F), not too bad for over 3000 meters below sea level!

Many continents had ancient seas in them. Thats why the earth has so many huge sedimentary mountain chains. All that deposition didn’t come from a river bed. The Grand Canyon was in part formed by shallow seas. Plate tectonics moved these land masses together and apart, either by pushing or pulling and mountains were formed, or rivers cut through these layers to expose their gorgeous layers. Everything we could imagine happening on earth has already happened over it’s about 4 billion year history of having a solid crust.

The principal concern in the nations of early XX century is territory. Some say the world wars happened because an ever expansionist mindset clashed with the reality of a world already fully colonized. A key concept in german culture is that of 'vital space': to ensure the growth of the german people and to secure the empire, Germany must secure a vital space, an area of territory big enough to sustain it's populace. This meant displacing all other races within that space. If the germans achieved that...they would surely look for ways to extend it's borders even more. If you combine that mindset with the ignorance we used to have when it comes to geology, ecology, climate and so on, you'd have people willing to at least toy with the idea of expanding europe in such a manner.

[@robertw1800]

Constantine V+ But then if you did that. Wouldn't the water evaporate, and travel back to the ocean. Once again becoming salt water, and increasing the ocean levels.

[@finsfan90]

Robert is right. You would need some way to keep replenishing that water. Like in the video, he says that the Mediterranean gets replenished by the Atlantic Ocean, otherwise it would evaporate as well. They would have to create a river from the ocean, connecting it to this new body of water. It is possible, but would be very expensive. And it would have to be a salt water lake too, obviously. Creating a freshwater body is outta the question. There would be no way to replenish water lost from evaporation.

[@randomvideosn0where]

Sure, but I think the results would be better by spreading the bodies of water throughout river valleys across the world if lowering sea level was the objective. In addition to lowering sea level, we could generate more hydro power and store freshwater for use or send it to places that need it like the southwest US.

one time the gibraltar strait was blocked by an earthquake and it caused a worldwide crisis as rainwater levels dropped dramatically

[@khiggins7231]

Europe would have millions of refugees crossing over from North Africa if it was drained.

[@luvee659]

Sorry I'm late but /drain also work, though it would lag the earth server

[@Skiltra]

when i watched this along time ago it was out of curiosity but now i question "what about the many destination location across the Mediterranean as my country doesnt have nice destination places and my country relys on countries with a Mediterranean for vacations

[@hopelessguy5493]

Next:"What if we drain all the oceans on earth? "

[@benjaminglauner1575]

U would see a lot of ships that sank during WW2 and sank

[@timothystrickland7278]

And Ancient Greek ships.

[@GoonOnFire]

spacfe ships

[@thefilipinogamertfg]

Well I will just take a picture of the wreck of the German battleship (Bismark

[@thefilipinogamertfg]

Warren552011 Oh OK Thanks

[@Rao665]

Correction: The hottest temperature recorded on the earths surface was 56.7°C (134°F) at Furnace Creek Ranch, in Death Valley.

[@panosmosproductions3230]

Fun fact, in The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild, you have to go down to get to the Gerudo Desert in the Southeast. The Mediterranean being completely drained resembles that in a way.

[@alek2612]

The real question is: How many Toyota Corrolas would fill the Mediterranean Sea?

[@Inkyminkyzizwoz]

I recently heard that in the 1930s there was a proposal to drain a portion of the North Sea to connect Britain to Mainland Europe. Could you do a video on what would happen if that was done?

[@SR71ABCD]

there will be alot of treasure hunters and deep sea explorers on foot looking for wrecks and relics.

[@scott2862]

You would find artifacts beyond your wildest dreams

[@hiimabot8937]

But .. Why? There's nothing more beautiful than the Mediterranean sea

[@sadaesthetics5674]

N yup

[@PhyreI3ird]

I see your Mediterranean Sea and raise you a Rainbow Mountain

RealLifeLore with all the horrifying consequences, it seems like something only a supervillain would do

[@squirtlydude6812]

RealLifeLore youre a squirtly dude

[@slowpnir]

Also the pressure would reach 2+ atm there, substantially adding problems to the heat.

This would be one of the most unethical geographical transformations on Earth.

[@timber7744]

the most unethical geographic transformations on Earth are already happening: the melting of the land ice in Greenland and the South Pole, the melting of the North Pole, the melting of the permafrost in much of Siberia, Canada and Alaska ...

[@AwoudeX]

@@timber7744 ah yes, wanting to have high living standards is totally unethical. Turn off the device you've used to write this crap comment of yours. Walk everywhere, grow your own food and let's see how long you last without contributing to 'the most unethical geographic transformation'

[@CIAinTaiwanAndUkraine]

@@AwoudeX what the fuck is your point

[@AwoudeX]

@@CIAinTaiwanAndUkraine Moral outrage at something natural happening: climate change, while being on the internet contributing by using electrical power and all the energy used to make that possible. Also i'm 99,99% sure the person in question goes to the supermarket by car, contributing even more. I don't care that this person does contribute, but crying about it at the same time seems a tad bit hypocritical to me. China is nr1 carbon emitter on this planet. Every time you buy something that says: 'made in china', you're part of the problem which he calls the most unethical...... I'm sorry you couldn't connect these obvious dots.

[@CIAinTaiwanAndUkraine]

@@AwoudeX impressive. Every single word you said is wrong; you sound like a white angsty boomer or X'er

[@FuZZbaLLbee]

So what if we do it the other way around and instead of making new land, dig a river trough the shara desert to compensate for rising sea levels and make that place less hot.

[@TheTerranscout]

I wonder if that would require even more concrete than the dams given how long it would need to be in order to connect to the Atlantic to the southwest and or to the red sea or Indian ocean to the east or the lake Victoria river systems

[@TheTerranscout]

Trius the reason why I didn't think that that's what he meant was he said to dig a trough, not simply flood the area. I was also considered about wildlife because of all the micro ecosystems that exist in parts of it. Sure it's a desert but i am sure that some rare animals and plants live in it somewhere. A controlled river system would be able to dodge those animals and plants better than general flooding.

[@TheRealLaking]

or you could wait for a few thousand years for the Sahara to become a sea again naturally

[@nephneph7299]

drain salty water into the land making it useless,these people dont use common unless they are being affected themselves.And who would agree to this sickly savage idea of yours and for what?lets make Africa salty,go go go
