wot would happen to the levels of the ocean if all boats were taken out of the water at the same time?

Answer 1

It would go down... but not enough to make a difference or even a measurable amount. Look at your hand... take out an atom... see any difference?

Answer 2

There would be very little change as the boats only float on the water and only a small proportion is under the water. Try an experiment yourself by floating a piece of wood in a glass of water and to balance the equation place something heavy in the glass, which sinks. You will then find the answer

Answer 3

it would go down, but probably not by much (like maybe a centimetre). After all, there is lots and lots of water, and only a few boats in comparison.
The sticking your fist in a glass of water comparison is incorrect. Your fist is nearly the same as the amount of water, so the water rises quite a lot to make enough space for it. However, the sea is huge compared to the bottom of a few thousand boats, so it really wouldn't make that much of a difference.

Answer 4

Chances are nothing would happen. The oceans are not like a sink/bath.The water stays the same, rising and falling as the tide goes in/out.

Answer 5

Naaa....

Don't listen to 'em!

Take all of the boats out of the water at the same time and the sea level would drop by at least 150 feet! ;->

Compare the volume of the boats with the volume of the oceans and it's LESS THAN insignificant!

Answer 6

Dude.. Nothing would happen ever see the size of the ocean?

Answer 7

I'm guessing it would lower..

Try this: Put your fist it a glass of water. The level goes up right? (Heh, it might overflow, try not to make a mess..)
Now, take your fist out. What happens? The level goes down..
That's my logic anyway. ^_^

Answer 8

Nothing at all, i think you GREATLY under estimate the size and depth of the seas

Answer 9

Nothing

Answer 10

Have a look at "Google Earth" find a ship, then think about your question.
