I cant find ANY of the numbers your using on the link you provided above.

ie...

Quote:
The earth's total amount of water is about 344 million cubic miles made up of

315 million cubic miles is seawater
9 million cubic miles is groundwater
7 million cubic miles is frozen in polar ice caps


this is the number I used to get my calculations.
it is not from any space agency it is from the
United States Geological Survey.

Put all the water on this planet into a single sphere and it would have a diameter of about 860 miles, says the United States Geological Survey.


----------------- the math -----------------------
860 miles / 2 = 430 miles
---------------------------------------------------

volume of a sphere v=4/3 x (pi x r3)
v=4/3 x (pi x r^3)

700 km = 434 miles
(I did the math myself to make sure the 860 mile diameter would be correct --> the reason I used a 434 mile radius )

434 miles
434 x 5280 = 2291520 ft
d=2291520 ft
r=1145760 ft

(edit) I did make a mistake , ( old age brain fart ? ) but it was in my favor
I used 434 as the diameter above when 860 was already given as the diameter.
this will greatly increase the volume of the total water in the sphere.

(I really do wish that the people who operate this forum would widen the post window or at least make is adjustable , It is really hard to make a post that looks decent because everything looks different when you post it than it looked in the posting window)

starting all over again because of my mistake..

THE VOLUME OF THE SPHERE OF WATER

v=4/3 x (pi x r^3)

r = 2291520 =ft

r^3 = 12032917971959808000

pi x r^3 = 37802526701957526482.928142247451

/ 3 = 12600842233985842160.976047415817

x 4 = 50403368935943368643.904189663267

v= 50403368935943368643.904189663267 cu ft

the above calculation shows the volume of water in the
860 mile diameter sphere of total water on the earth
that the USGS reports.

lets break that number into cubic miles.

1 cubic mile = 5280 ft x 5280 ft x 5280 ft = 147197952000 cubic feet

50403368935943368643.904189663267 cu ft / 147197952000 cubic feet = 342418955.230 cubic miles

so the 344 million cubic miles you posted is pretty close to the above calculation of 342 million cubic miles.

THE SURFACE AREA OF THE EARTH

a=4 x (pi x r2)

7926 miles diameter
41849280 ft diameter
r = 20924640 ft radius
r^2 = 437840559129600
pi x r2 = 1375516684005198.8361281412832575
4x(pi x r2)= 5502066736020795.34451256513303 sq ft

STACKING THE VOLUME OF WATER IN THE SPHERE ON TOP OF THE SURFACE OF THE EARTH


sphere 50403368935943368643.904 cu ft/ earth 5502066736020795.344 sq ft = 9160.806 ft height

I had originaly posted 1145.10 ft but now the height has greatly increased to 9160 ft !!!

thanks orac for pointing that out.


this does not include all the sinking of land masses that are in the vicinity of rebounding land masses.

nor does it include any land currently above sea level.

nor does it include any other processes that would produce even more water , such as the earth resettling and cracking causing hydrogen to be released and that hydrogen binding with oxygen in the atmosphere.

Mount Everest, at 29,035 feet above sea level, is the highest spot on our planet.

but it would most likely sink into the ground , some if not all.

the more I think about it , the more I believe that the earth actually could be completely covered in water !!!

even as high as the 15 cubits above everything described in Genesis.

3/4 inch of dust build up on the moon in 4.527 billion years,LOL and QM is fantasy science.
