I found this site Free Republic through a search to verify my calculations about the amount of water required to raise all of the connected bodies of water (oceans, gulf, seas, etc. The math was very accurate However instead of comparing it to Mt Everest in size I thought is appropriate to use Niagara falls' flow rate: Niagara Falls US & Canadian Combined) flows at a rate of 350,000 gallons per second. Annual estimated water output 11,045,160,000,000 gallons Using the previous post calculations which stated it would take 28,940,800,000,000,000 gallons of water for the first inch divided by the stated annual flow rate of Niagara falls you would be looking at a 24/7/365.25 If the math is correct it would take just over 2,620 connected together Niagara Falls just to produce the first inch. Niagara falls Us and Canada is claimed to have a fall face of 2,600 feet. 2,620 x 2,600'= 6,812,583,.97 total feet of face of falls. Or 1,290 Contiguous miles of falls.
We all would be watch this every night on the nightly news> LOL 24 hour cable outlets would be leading with this story! New reports from airplanes flying by recording the damage to the oceans! Brackish water killing off all marine life. The question which will close the argument is! Show me the water?
