They intertwine beautifully..
The ocean turns into a plain, then a plain ups into snowcapped mountains...
Its beautiful how everything is connected, isn't it?

Water, like everything, is attracted to the mass that is earth, trying it's best to get closer to the centre of the earth, but it is competing with other forms of matter for that space, land and air to be specific. The mountain forms by volcano, the Earth's reaction to release the build up of pressure applied by the oceans trying to get in. Or they form by tectonic plates moving toward each other to form mountain ranges like the himalayas.
The oceans, in their attempt to be as close as possible to Earth, are always moving around, forever looking for that elusive vantage point, the chance to charge on the core. As a result of moving around all the time, they pick up a lot of the solid mass under the surface, dropping it down toward the very core they theyselves wish to be one with. Perhaps this is a violent attempt to crack the surface with ammunition of stone and sand and vegetation. This action leads to an inevitable flattening of the sea bed, particularly near the surface land masses.
When sea levels in an area fall to expose the land below, it is often flat from the movement of the water, creating a plain. The water, it seems, has found somewhere else where it can be closer to Earth, and naturally gravitated in that direction.
In my mind, it is the life force of the oceans that define the terrain of Earth, providing the pressure on the mantle that causes volcanoes, and the pressure on the floating tectonic plates that define the direction and speed they move in, having the constant need to be close to Earth that keeps it moving constantly, and also being attracted to the moon, although not as much, which creates the tides. It brings the law of attraction, in this case gravity, to a degree of observable reality that is unchallenged in the universe. It's the same degree that Issac Newton realised when he was hit with the apple.
In addition to this, the oceans know that they are essential and integral to the manifestation, development and continued existence of every life form on Earth, and they feel proud to carry this honour, however in recent decades humans have been neglecting and abusing the oceans, killing enormous areas of them at a rate so fast that they cannot heal or repair themselves enough to even begin to recover before the next hit.
They have begun to do whatever they have to to protect and defend the life they have contained within them, and the ammunition has become more powerful than has every been recorded since the polar icecaps were formed hundreds of thousands of years ago, according to deep core drills in Antarctica.
All scientific predictions in existence, everyone in the field, everywhere in the world, save for a few corporate spokespeople who happen to hold a degree in such a field, has said that it will get much worse before it gets better. The oceans have been tortured long enough, as has the atmosphere, and they are going to find the silly souls who contributed to their partial demise and eliminate them with a "take no prisoners, show no mercy" mentality. They are angry, but most of all they are really scared for their own life if they allow this silliness to continue, and they have no other options. What else can they do but force the silliness to stop?
But, despite all this fear and anger, they are also very forgiving. As with all life forms, it takes some time to rebuild trust from someone whom has been abused, but they will forgive in time. It will likely take a global, species wide commitment spanning many lifetimes, but we can get the oceans back into harmony with us again, and make the Earth a sustainable and balanced community, melding nature with intelligence. We can do it.
Can we fix it? YES WE CAN. ARE YOU WITH ME?
