The most recent data from NASA shows a decline in sea level.
Inconvenient: NASA shows global sea level…pausing, instead of rising

Scientists previously discovered that water is stored inside mantle rock in a sponge-like state, which isn’t a liquid, solid or a gas, but instead a fourth state.
The scientific paper titled ‘Dehydration melting at the top of the lower mantle’ was published in 2014 and laid out the findings.
"The ringwoodite is like a sponge, soaking up water, there is something very special about the crystal structure of ringwoodite that allows it to attract hydrogen and trap water," said geophysicist Steve Jacobsen at the time.
"This mineral can contain a lot of water under conditions of the deep mantle,” added Jacobsen, who was part of the team behind the discovery.
He added: "I think we are finally seeing evidence for a whole-Earth water cycle, which may help explain the vast amount of liquid water on the surface of our habitable planet. Scientists have been looking for this missing deep water for decades."
Scientists made the findings at the time after studying earthquakes and discovering that seismometers were picking up shockwaves under the surface of the Earth.
From that, they were able to establish that the water was being held in the rock known as ringwoodite.
If the rock contained just 1 per cent water, it would mean that there is three times more water under the surface of the Earth than there is in the oceans on the surface.

Un-possible.
Isn’t the 4th state of matter plasma? If so, then this is a 5th state. The 6th state of matter is Jello.

To me this isn’t terribly surprising. Scientists have postulated for years that one of the reasons the Earth has plate tectonics is that water lubricates the rock. We should expect to find large quantities of water beneath the crust.
I think Pat Boone is still alive.
I just can’t imagine the actual center of the earth is a whirlpool with lightning and rain....
But yes, this is what i thought of!
Long story short -- Pat Boone lost his pantalones.
The oceans aren't rising, they're sinking?

What if we weren’t here. Would it still rise? Would it drop? Those are the questions they can’t answer.
If that water is freshwater, and if we could tap it, it would obviate the need for desalination!
it didn’t make the cut to be included in the canon
Happy dolphin....
LOL
I was just getting warmed up to the story about Lindenbrook’s and Alec’s adventure.
Did they disappear forever down a cave in Iceland?
So maybe this is effecting sea levels more than “this global warming by man” crap.
And what happened to the duck?

Saknussemm ate it.
Underneath the ‘’Pines’’ is the largest fresh water aqua fifer in The United States. 4 trillion gallons of the freshest, purest drinking water in the nation. And no one has ever tapped into it.

The fountains of the deep was the very first thing I thought of.
For all the years Bible believers have been mocked and ridiculed, science, once again, has egg on its face.
“water is stored inside mantle rock in a sponge-like state, which isn’t a liquid, solid or a gas, but instead a fourth state.”
Not an ocean as we know it but rather sponge-like. Oil does something similar as well.
