minus-squarecholesterol@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up27·1 day agoThe Earth’s surface area is about 70% percent covered by water. More than 95 percent of the water is in the oceans, and they make up less than 1 percent of the Earth’s total volume. If you go by mass instead of volume the fraction is even lower.
minus-squarefallingcats@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up7·1 day agoSo earth is basically barely wet, huh?
minus-squareaowlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·1 day agoOk, so it’s flat and on top of another object, like a board on a wheel! The surface is flat but wobbles a bit.
minus-squareGoldmage263OPlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·1 day agoVery true, and although my specialty is not geology, I’m fairly confident the magma is also not carbonated.
minus-squareDremor@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-224 hours agoI’m not a geologist either, but I know there is in fact have a lot of gaz dissolved into magma. Considering there is far more magma than water on earth, I can confidently say that eath is not flat.

minus-squaresugar_in_your_tealinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 day agoIdk, how do you explain geysers? If you taste the water runoff, it’s very clearly carbonated (and nasty with a very metallic taste).
minus-squareGoldmage263OPlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·18 hours agoI expected most volcanic gasses (and geysers) to be largely sulfuric. After looking it up, I have to agree. The Earth is full of dissolved gasses making it not flat.

Moist at most.
