What do you think earth would look like if the oceans dried up? Would it be comparable to any other planet?

Answer 1

Mars

Answer 2

Probably quite similar to Mars. Mars, it is thought, used to have surface water. So it would have similar "ocean" basins and errosion patterns (except probably to a greater degree). Mars also had some volcanic activity which is another primary factor in the appearence of a planet's surface. Venus for instance is active but resurfaces suddenly and more completely than the Earth and it has never had oceans like ours.

Answer 3

The truth is the earth is growing at a constant rate, but not in its amount of water. The earth is constantly bombarded by a vast number of tiny particles from space that steadily increase its LAND mass. I call it cosmic dust. And just like a glass of water sitting for a long time, the earth's water will one day either evaporate away or be offset by its growing land mass. So one day earth will be a giant earthen planet void of water like all the rest. Excellent question. But this is still a long way away. For now, enjoy a cool glass of water on me. Cheers!

Answer 4

Having no ocean will lead to no water. No water will lead to plants dying, animals dying. And it will also lead to humans dying! Because no water to drink. Haha. If the ocean dried up, it would probably be brown in colour. And Earth would probably look like Mars? I guess... haha, not sure.

Answer 5

No water means no plants-
no plants means oxygen goes bye-bye-
no oxygen means no life as we know it.
Im afraid that Earth would be comparable to Mars in an event such as that.

Answer 6

Where would the water go? It is trapped so it has to go somewhere.

Answer 7

we would be dead
