Thought experiment: How would ocean levels change?
- Thread starter AN630078
- Start date
Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around a thought experiment regarding how ocean levels would change based on the removal of water. Participants explore mathematical approaches, including calculus and volume calculations, to determine the impact of removing a specific volume of water, such as one glass per person or the total volume for the global population. Key considerations include the surface area of the Earth covered by water and the total volume of Earth's oceans, with attempts to derive formulas relating these quantities to the height drop in ocean levels. The conversation emphasizes the importance of visualization and the challenges in accurately measuring such vast quantities. Overall, the thread serves as a collaborative exploration of a complex scientific question.
