It is darkness
If a planet was completely covered in water, wouldn't it all be freshwater?

    I mean, it's basically arguing semantics, which was my point. Temperature, sediment, etc. transfer will still occur, and erosion will happen. It would just happen at different time scales.

    Continents and the surface are just areas of the planet that don't have water covering them up.

    If Earth's oceans rose only a few miles up, it would be a water planet, but these things would still exist. Including plate tectonics and the circulation of magma / molten core.

    Water circulates due to pressure, temperature, and impurities, each having their own positive feedback loop into the system before it finds a balance.

    I can press the volume down button and it'll silence the incoming call. So I can go about my day.

    Leave a message after the b-

  • With Hilary en route to potentially kick our asses, I got to thinking about potentials for out-of-control wildfires and surprise quakes. Who knows, maybe we'll get all three! So prolly best to be prepared, right?
