What happens if the ocean changes its position for the land?
What if the area of continents and oceans changed positions?
If the ocean and continent change positions, the source of fresh water becomes scarce.
The Earth's surface is about 71% water, 29% is soil. The ocean accounts for 97% of the planet's water. When the ocean and continental areas change, then:
- 1. Temperature of the Earth increases : Earth will be hot and increase rapidly, similar to the temperature of Venus. There are many deserts because the area of the ocean is narrowed, affecting the ability to reduce the temperature of the Earth.
- 2. Climate reversal : The ocean cycle is overturned, rainfall on Earth drops significantly, increases in drought, changes in soil climate, and inefficient flows.
- 3 . Impact on atmospheric composition : Low ocean area means increased CO 2 , much less oxygen, soil and air pollution, leading to the risk of extinction.
- 4. The life of animals is reversed : The ocean is narrowed, marine species must evolve and move to the mainland. Humans and animals will evolve into "cold-blooded" species to adapt to living conditions.
- 5. Difficult living conditions : Fresh water resources become scarce, the demand for energy is difficult to meet, the continents become unstable because there are more earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
