What would happen if the Earth's sea and land swapped? Hell is full of centipedes waiting for you
Our planet is named "Earth", but contrary to the name, 71% of the Earth's surface area is covered by water. The amount of land only accounts for about 29%.
But this 29% figure is not everywhere. With Earth's population growing, many people are worried that it will be time for people to run out of land.
With so much land, what if we swapped places with land and sea? That is, what would happen to the Earth if 71% were land, and the sea was only 29%?
The answer is really not like you imagined, because the Earth was no longer Earth then.
1. Temperature rises rapidly
It should be known that the Earth is today like the amount of water covering the planet. Water absorbs an enormous amount of heat from the Sun, without showing any sign of an increase in temperature. Therefore, the presence of water is the cooling for the Earth.
When water drops to 60%, the inevitable consequence is that the Earth's temperature will rise, making many areas of the land arid. In other words, even though the Earth has a lot of land, the habitable places will be even less than it is now.
2. Oxygen decreases dramatically
70% of the atmospheric oxygen is supplied by aquatic plants. With the disappearance of water, many aquatic species also evaporate.
In the opposite direction, terrestrial plants cannot make a substitution due to increased temperatures. As a result, oxygen in the air will be greatly reduced.
Besides, because water also plays the role of submerging and absorbing CO2 from the air, when it disappears, the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere also increases. This contributes to speeding up the process of global warming, turning this place into hell.
3. An Earth is full of centipedes
The displacement between water and land will undoubtedly affect the life we have on our planet. Increasing temperatures, decreased oxygen, increased CO 2 , all make life on Earth more difficult than ever. Nonetheless, there are likely to be organisms that survive, as long as they have to change themselves to survive.
In general, the majority of animals today will fall into extinction. Herbivores will go away first because the plants disappear, then predators will follow. Under such conditions, only cold-blooded animals (thermoplastic creatures) - such as reptiles (snakes, lizards) and amphibians (frogs .) can exist.
4. Benefits: The transportation will be much more convenient
It is easy to understand. When the natural land area expands to over 200%, we will have too much land to move. Road transportation is also easier because very few places are separated by the sea.
In contrast, maritime traffic will be quite catastrophic. This directly affects countries dependent on seafood exports.
5. The human economy will be in an unpredictable direction
Water is the source of life. When countries become scarce, nations will have to fight for the amount of water they can own, and this will lead to comprehensive war on the whole planet.
6. Everest is no longer the highest peak
Although Mount Everest is located at the highest place in the world, but considering the height from the feet to the top, it still has to yield to Mauna Kea. This mountain is up to 10,000m high, but the problem is that the body of the mountain has been submerged in seawater.
So when water and land swapped, Everest would be underwater, while Mauna Kea rose, becoming the tallest mountain in the world.
