All of earth's water into a sphere
I found it quite surprising when viewed from this perspective and thought I'd share.

If you shipped it to Mars you could make Mars inhabitable.

Looks a little bit like a tit. But it's been a while since I saw a tit.......:(

Don't forget your fins and a snorkel...
Earth is 7926 miles wide, Mars is 4,217 miles wide.. we may have "some" flooding :eek: I imagine the appearance of Mars would change quite a bit. Maybe something like this... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...Marineris1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...er-Planet1.jpg |
oh and i thought it would be dificult to contaminate it all
according my studies in high sea if you have a convenience flag as 80% of ships its the law of the stronger or smarter, you can do as you please |
Seems quite small eh?
|
Agreed Smaller than what I expected.
So much for The Blue Planet??? |
Interesting as it is..
It is very misleading.. Comparing surface area to a volume is like comparing percentages to counts.. Sadly both are typically done to either get a rise out of people or emphasize the point (their agenda) they are trying to make.. If they wanted to do a fair and honest job of 'spear' comparisons they should have shown a spear of the ground above sea level (livable area).. Which would have been about 1/4 the size of the water spear.. Better yet, instead of a top down view of the spear, which only masks it size, show how high the spear would reach into the sky.. Where the top of the spear would be at 4540,800.00 FEET Four Thousand, Five Hundred, and Forty point Eight THOUSAND FEET! In short, comparing the volume of water to the volume of the earth is very misleading. It implies that we can make use of (aka live) anywhere 'inside' the earth, where as every drop of water 'inside' that water spear can be made use of. Comparing the surface area of the land to the surface area of the water is a more honest comparison IMHO. |
Worth more than all the oil, silver and gold in the world combined. Nothing happens without water.

Who are they trying to mislead :confused: its just a simple fact...
