Here we go again folks. Fasten your seabelts. If the oceans all dried up and
say, went out into space and all you have left is dry land where the oceans
use to be, and you needed water. Where are you going to get it? You would
have to drill for it. Do scientist know if there are huge underground water
springs under the ocean floor? According to the facts, most of the
freshwater on Earth is located underground. And much of that comes from info
on dry land. Now if you took the oceans into an account--which cover most of
the Earths surface--then I think you know where I am getting at. We know a
lot about the landscape under the seas but little of anything else under it.
One scientist remarked that "we know more about the Moon than what's under
the sea." I am not counting the Naval undersea charts, the landscape is not
what I am talking about. But everything else beneath the sea floor. We are
still finding things we didn't know about before. We know where to find oil,
but again, that is not what I am talking about.
