minus-squarecholesterol@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up26·3 months agoThe Earth’s surface area is about 70% percent covered by water. More than 95 percent of the water is in the oceans, and they make up less than 1 percent of the Earth’s total volume. If you go by mass instead of volume the fraction is even lower.

minus-squareGoldmage263@sh.itjust.worksOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·3 months agoVery true, and although my specialty is not geology, I’m fairly confident the magma is also not carbonated.
minus-squaresugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up3·3 months agoIdk, how do you explain geysers? If you taste the water runoff, it’s very clearly carbonated (and nasty with a very metallic taste).
minus-squareGoldmage263@sh.itjust.worksOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·3 months agoI expected most volcanic gasses (and geysers) to be largely sulfuric. After looking it up, I have to agree. The Earth is full of dissolved gasses making it not flat.
minus-squareDremor@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-23 months agoI’m not a geologist either, but I know there is in fact have a lot of gaz dissolved into magma. Considering there is far more magma than water on earth, I can confidently say that eath is not flat.
minus-squareGoldmage263@sh.itjust.worksOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 months agoSince I am a pedant, I would agree with you after looking up volcanic gas composition. I love how we can get to the smart stuff via dumb memes.

Moist at most.
