so basically the land would be too high and the atmosphere too hot.
may i propose then a different hypothetical of the land and water being inverted, but still to scale. the only difference is their location.
so on this earth, the tallest mountain is mount Mariana, but it's the same height as Everest and the deepest ocean is the Himalayan trench in the Asian ocean, but it's the same depth as the Mariana trench is in real life.
what would THIS inverted earth be like?

I don't like the fact that they tossed away the idea of keeping the volume of water the same on an inverted Earth, that really throws the balance of everything far too out of whack. They said that the inverted oceans would be much shallower, well not if the volume of water was the same. And, it said that the new land would be very high plateaus now, far higher above sea level. well if the volume of water was the same, the -sea level- would be different then right?

First failure in what if is changing the volume of anything. Why can you not simply invert which means the oceans would be deeper but with less surface area. So you haven't properly inverted. Take all the positive data and make negative and vice verse then let the water settle where ever it has to based on equal volume. Not using surface area as a restrictive measure. Then hypothosis will be very different.

Honestly, predicting the inverted topography instead of flipping water and land is probably much more interesting. Many cultures and life thrive and developed into what we know because of the landscape and etc. Predicting how history would change and the society would be like will be much more entertaining. Instead of just an environment disastrous planet

What if the Earth was inverted but the same quantity of water still existed? That would mean that some or many sections of land that are currently under water would still be under water with an inverted topography Earth. I'd like to see a video on that rather than this one which also includes this idea of much less ocean water.

One thing i would like to know if anyone has simulated how earth would look like after a billion years where Pangea is inverted and start from there? We see simulations of continental drift over the aeons from real earth. Woukd drift even happen as there would be just 1 lake surrounded by land

And Don't Forgot What Is The Inside Out River Called?
You know land become ocean and ocean became land and what will the river turned into also opposite of isthmus is strait so what is the opposite of river it's not land

There would be Pacific land, Atlantic land, arctic land, Indian land, Australian land, north land, american ocean, African ocian, eurasian ocean Australia sea and the Mariana ridge of 11 km high.

Ya this is cool and exactly what I searched for, but what if the topography/altitudes were inverted AND there was the same VOLUME of sea water? The shores would be much further inland.

We would have more land for agriculture if the world was inverted. That would also be good for spreading out 7 billion people. More homes could be built in addition to much more land.

The continents would be seas, not oceans, and they would be salty AF since the water is in a smaller space, the ocean currents are gone, and they have nowhere to flow.

An upside down version of anything represents chaos and disorder to me. I like writing the abbreviations of countries and the UN upside down because its hilarious

idk why all hypothetical situations of what if always turn out in our disadvantage. i personally was thinking that this one is possible and we would survive but no.

But the Earth's albedo will increase if it has less water, as water aborbs a lot of incoming sunlight from it's deep blue color. Therefore the Earth might get cooler.

The Mariana trench would become the biggest mountain on earth. Mariana mountain and the Everest trench. Also the grand canyon would be interesting to see inverted.

We don't know what most of the bottom of the sea looks like, that's one problem here. It's really hard to send probes that aren't crushed.

I've been searching this for several months until now. I have now found what if land became water and water became land

If aliens were out there, they may think we are a bunch of fish people because most of our planets surface is water.

Earth is perfectly made. How fascinating.
Little difference in our Earth will affect our life and our future.

I recall this crazy idea in a Fantastic Four comic. what if Earth was expanded like a balloon to twice it's size?

what if all the land's elevation) was inverted but the amount of water on the earth stayed the same
