How a watery catastrophe shaped a planet
Most scientists reject the idea of a global flood on Earth yet say they are certain there was a watery cataclysm on Mars so enormous that it carved a 3,500 km long channel that is about 400 km wide and up to 2.5 km deep.
Kasei Valles, seen in MOLA elevation data. Flow was from bottom left to right. North is up. Image is approximately 1,600 km across, showing the enormous size of this channel, which is 3,500 km long, greater than 400 km wide, and exceeds a depth of 2.5 km
Spectacular images from the Red Planet show the mind-boggling scale of this enormous channel known as Kasei Valles. Also, surface pictures beamed back from the Mars Pathfinder craft show what scientists say are sure evidence of flood debris (for example, the image at the top of this email). These features on Mars remind scientists of the Lake Missoula flood in America but on a scale of 10 to 100 times bigger. And this on a planet only about half the diameter of Earth, and one tenth the mass!

Hmmm ... looks like running water on the surface, not a global flood. Please try again.
In the days when few travelled the world and saw clear evidence, this was never questioned. Now we know better! #isgenesishistroy. Daily lectures of real world science.
Do you understand what the word ‘Global’ means?
Global flood on Mars? Try again.
Oh, and another easily refuted detail - the article doubles the length of the outflow - it is under 1,800 kilometers.
There are signs of erosion during a wet period early in the geological history of Mars. There is no evidence of a single global flood there just as there is no sign of such a flood here on earth.
Why do we find sea fossils around the world in inland places and on mountains?
Plate tectonics maybe? For instance, the entire Great Basin was once a shallow inland sea, the evidence of which is found in limestone deposits throughout the region. Uplift of the crust over millions of years and at the speed that your nails grow has given us the current geology. There is no evidence of a global flood anywhere. You find the fossils segregated into separate sedimentary layers according to their age. You’ll never find a trilobite and a whale fossil in the same layer of sediment.
In 2014 scientists discovered a very interesting find. The lead scientist noted there is a vast reservoir of water under the earth's surface.
The money quote from the article.
"If [the stored water] wasn't there, it would be on the surface of the Earth, and mountaintops would be the only land poking out," he said.

There are other explanations that require no water.

Are you not familiar with plate tectonics?
I am.
The Mississippi delta looks just like that. Doesn’t seem to indicate a global flood.
Plate tectonics. Mount Everest is topped with marine limestone that was thrust up when the Indian Plate collided with the Asian Plate.
Please read a geology book. I think you would truly enjoy it.
I have. There are a number of assumptions in the science.
You might find this book interesting. You can read it free online or download a free zipped copy for later:
The Biblical Flood and the Ice Epoch
The author touches on that subject as well as how it was released by a planet sized object passing earth at just the right distance (The Roche Limit).
A bit technical at times but an interesting book.
