do u think we should build a continent in the pacific ocean?

Question

do we have enough dirt to do that?
we can make more countries. i think its a cool idea.

we can get dirt from other planets!

Answer 1

That's the deepest ocean so we would need the most dirt to make dry land there. Why not fill in someplace shallower, like the Gulf of Mexico, then we could drive to our new land mass.
It would kill a lot of hurricanes as well. How about putting a dome over antarctica and heating it with fossil fuels?

Answer 2

Good idea. Maybe there is some purpose behind the Mars mission, after all.

Then again, when you put all the dirt in the water, wont it be like stepping into a brimming full tub? Wont the water at the edges swamp the coastal areas of existing continents? Will the surface area gained be worth the displacement onto existing continents of the water from where the new continent is?

Don't know, but it would be interesting to find out!

Answer 3

no that would mess up the entire ecosystem and could possibly cause mass extinction.

the only way to get more dirt to build this continent would be from under water. Not to mention that those are continental plates under there, whichmeans if we dig too deep we hit magma and die. We also haven't been able to get down that far yet.

I don't know if you've heard of the Panama Canal? If so, maybe you know how much it cost and how long it took to build.

If this were humanly possible, we would take the dirt from under water, which would cause sea level to decrease. This in turn would cause the water to heat up. any sensitive ocean fish (most of them) would die from the temperature change, the ice caps would melt, and massive tropical storms would form. Plus, once you've got all these dead fish belly up in the ocean with nothing to decompose them, this bacteria (which lives at the bottom of the sea and is lethal to humans) will have to finish the job so that it can survive in the water. It thrives in warmer temperatures so the temperature rise will make the bacteria multiply rapidly. Never mind New Orleans, say good bye to the entire continent of North America.

Answer 4

How would you recommend we do that since the Pacific is expanding and the Atlantic is shrinking over long periods of time? Even if we had enough 'dirt' to do that it would collapse. Not that we have enough 'dirt' to do that, to fill in all the way to the bottom of the ocean.

Answer 5

Interesting idea. I will think about it. May be a floating Island to save on dirt

Answer 6

Isn't that Australia? No I don't think its even possible with dirt... and it would be billions of dollars to do that with any other materials. And I think there are enough countries to deal with as it is lol.....

Answer 7

That would be awesome if you built another continent. I would live on it if it was in the middle of the Pacific

Answer 8

Why not just send all liberals to Mars or the Moon
with a one -way free ticket? That would solve a lot
of the problems we here in the U.S. are having. They
could all enjoy each others company, but they wouldn't
have anyone to blame for any problems. Oh well.

Answer 9

i think of of it extremely is stable concept. as with out delay as international warming floods the coastline of each and every and each non-floating continent, we are able to actual make new plastic continents to bypass the people to. for particular, the production of plenty plastic will create extra greenhouse gases, which will reason extra land to flood, so we are able to might desire to make extra...

Answer 10

I did it one time. But hurricane matrina came, and my leveys broke, and it went under. Then I had to move all of my citizens to my stadium for a while, and then the air went out, so I had to ship them to other countries. My football team made it to the playoffs the next year though after we signed a superstar running back.
