I made a video of the earth where the land and the sea are opposite, and the process of its change. Related Links：[4k]Sea Level Rise and Fall Simulation - World • [4k]Sea Level Rise and...
Apart from the fact that the ecology and weather patterns will be completely destroyed leading to over all downfall off Earth's biosphere because of the significantly smaller oceans it will surely be interesting to see how a world like this will exist and how will the land borders of several countries will look like
I mean this would probably end the majority of life on earth, it would basically uproot all marine ecosystems, and leave earth with way less water than before, so
In a scenario like this, interesting undersea phenomena such as Doggerland (an area in the North Sea which used to be above sea level, and even had humans living there during the Pleistocene glaciation), the sunken areas of Alexandria (possibly including the location of Cleopatra's tomb, which some believe to have been in the area of the city that sank into the Mediterranean after being destroyed by an earthquake in 365 AD) and the Yonaguni Monument (an unusual rock formation which happened to appear in such a way as to resemble artificial buildings, streets and other structures through volcanic activity would become visible to the naked eye, having risen above ground. It's fun to think about what these geological features would look like in the open air, and what people would make of them.
In an inverted Earth where the continents are oceans and the oceans is land, I would imagine oceanic shelves would also become continental shelves and vice versa. Mountains become trenches, trenches become mountains (the Challenger Deep would be the tallest mountain known as Mt. Challenger, for example). Lakes become islands, islands become lakes. Think of all the islands within the new North American ocean and all the lakes in the southern Pacific continent. Rivers (IMO, including dry riverbeds) would become currents in the new oceans and currents would become rivers. The longest mountain range would be the mid-Atlantic Ridge. There would three mountain ranges converging in the western Indian continent. The Mediterranean Sea would be a peninsula. And that's not even including the potential biosphere and political nature of the planet if it has always been this way.
There would be a huge desertification since there's less ocean. The Pacific Desert will be vast with only a handful of pocket settlements along the lakes. But I'm not sure if they're even last. They maybe vaporized for being too far from the ocean.
@@fishyfinthing8854 True true. I could definitely see the northwest and southeast being deserts for sure. The northeast might mostly be plains or savannahs with some forests. Any people living here in the deserts could mostly be nomadic of sorts like in the Sahara and Arabian deserts.
If the land inverted, then the deepest point would be where Everest is, Antarctica would also on average be the deepest ocean, all the other oceans would be pretty shallow, the deeper ones approaching 2-3,000 m.
I loved the video - what a great idea. What i find so interesting is the fact that in the 2D picture we see all that has happened is that the colours used for sea and land has switched over and it looks so different - almost Alien. When i watched the animated video i could then look at the picture and see what it was but when first looking at the picture it felt so weird.
A lot of that new land would be desert I guess, because of the much smaller oceans. Would be interesting to see the switch, but then rise the sea level until the water volume is the same as it is in real.
The earth shifts at every given moment, One unknowing to the event would assume the end times. Though, even in the most dire of circumstances, life finds a way. The event was a punch in the gut for humanity. The water washed away any and all progress the last thousands of years man had worked blood and bone for. Ones near the shore adapted easiest, though the same cannot be said for the ones in the mountains. Though humanity survived the event, other living creatures weren't as lucky. Very few animals besides humans and their companions made it through the event, with the few other remaining animals being either domesticated pets or livestock. Sea life and land-based plant life were rendered almost, if not fully extinct. Stories from the vast, never-ending deserts of what is now Earth tell of lush oasis's inhabiting the edges of some of the great seas, though many who have gone searching for them have never returned. Now life on Earth is a quiet, sorrow one. The old tell tales of great monoliths, boxes with infinite information and wisdom, and the day the old lands fell and the new ones rose. They say their fathers told them these stories, and their father's fathers told them. Cities are constructed out of ruin that flowed to the shores from the great seas. Giant bands of scrap metal and rebar make up the walls in which the great sandstorms are blocked by. The next chapter of humanity has begun.
I wanna know if an inverted earth would be cool enough for life to form. Like the there'd be 3 : 1 land to water ratio. Would that like make the earth hot and shit or like would it still be normal like ours?
On the inverted Earth, there is a legend where once upon a time, in the middle of the atlantic continent, a massive ocean was between the European ocean and American ocean There was also another ocean in the middle of the Indian continent, they were called MU and Atlantis, one day, a cataclysm made a continent rise up into thes oceans and made the oceans completly disappear.
Loved the video. Also at first glance when I saw this in my feed, I imagined it would have one of those OST from Tenet. But this is terrific work nonetheless.
