Apakah Laut bisa mongering? Bisakah Samudera menggenangi seluruh daratan?

A) Apakah Laut Bisa mongering?
Kita hampir tidak pernah melihat laut yang mongering. Akan tetapi, hal itu pernah terjadi. Berjuta tahun yang lalu, Laut Tengah pernah kering. Saat itu, laut Tengah benar menyempit hingga seperti sebuah danau besar saja. Ketika itu, hawanya panas, hampir tidak pernah turun hujan. Dari waktu ke waktu, seluruh air yang tersisa menguap. Karena kurangnya hubungan dengan laut yang lainnya, tidak ada air yang mengalir ke sana. Seluruh daerahnya dilapisi kerak garam. Kemudian, pematas antara Laut Tengah dan Samudera Atlantik jebol. Mengalirlah air ke daerah gersang itu. Tanah kering itu pun terpendam dan menjadi daerah baru.
B) Bisakah Samudera Menggenangi Seluruh Daratan?
Di planet bumi kita, samudera menempati wilayah yang jauh lebih luas daripada benua. Selain itu kandungan airnya luar biasa banyaknya. Ada juga daratan yang luas dengan banyak dataran tinggi, bukit dan gunung yang tinggi bisa mencapai 8000 meter. Untuk menggenangi seluruh permukaan bumi, air harus naik tinggi sekali, sampai beberapa ribu meter. Menurut perhitungan, agar air bisa naik 100 meter, harus ada es mencair di kutub. Jika hal itu berlangsung terus menerus akan terjadi bencana karena akan terjadi banjir hebat dan perubahan iklim bumi.
Is Sea could dry up? Can the ocean inundate all the land?

A) Is the Sea Can mongering?
We hardly ever see the sea mongering. However, it never happened. Millions of years ago, the Mediterranean Sea oncedried. At that time, it really narrows to sea like a large lake only. At that time, weather was hot, almost never rains. From time to time, allremaining water evaporates. Due to the lack of a relationship withthe other sea, there is no running water there. The entire areacovered with a salt crust. Then, pematas between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean breached. Flow of waterto arid regions it. Dry soil it was buried and a new area.
B) Can the ocean flooding the entire Mainland?
In our planet, oceans occupy a much wider area than the continent.Besides tremendous water content. There is also a vast land with many plateaus, hills and mountains that reach 8000 meters high. Toinundate the entire surface of the earth, the water should rise very high, up to several thousand meters. According to the calculations,so that the water could rise 100 meters, there should be ice meltingat the poles. If it continues to happen because there will becatastrophic flooding and changes in Earth's climate.
