what would the earth look like if there were no oceans or seas covering it?

Question

so if somehow the pacific and atlantic oceans vanished or evaporated somehow, what would you see? how would it look with no water?

Answer 1

It would look nothing at all like it does now.

Our beautiful blue planet is teaming with myriad forms of life on and below the surface of the earth and also on the surface of the turbulent oceans and deep down its depths.

Without oceans, the Earth may look like Mars on some distant day, which is a few millenniums away.

Mars is a smaller red planet, nearest to Earth. I saw it through a telescope shining bright. Its circular form was changing like an amorphous object in the haze of the night sky.

Here is an extract from Encyclopaedia Britannica 2007 which might interest you and alert others that this is no time to ridicule Al Gore about his campaign to save our precious Earth from a similar fate.

“There are intriguing clues that billions of years ago Mars was even more Earth-like than today, with a denser, warmer atmosphere and much more water—rivers, lakes, flood channels, and perhaps oceans. By all indications, Mars is now a sterile frozen desert, but close-up images from the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft of seemingly water-eroded gullies suggest that at least small amounts of water may have flowed on or near the planet's surface in geologically recent times and may still exist as a liquid in protected areas below the surface.”

We should alert everyone that all countries must fast to protect the Earth from global warming and environment disasters.

Every country must enact new legislation to protect the environment from the effects of acid rain, industrial pollution, contamination of our water resources and extinction of many rare species of life.

I like your question and the poem quoted on your page so much that I am starring your question before submitting the answer.

Fish flappin' and gaspin' all over the world. Whales would be beached no matter WHERE they were! Sharks would no longer be able to sneak up on you, tho. There's always an "up" side!

Mountains, valleys and flat spaces....with no trees.
