i’ve always been curious about this. since the earth’s crust is made up of huge plates that have many cracks and slide under each other into the mantle, why doesn’t something like a huge fault line or underwater volcano suck huge areas of ocean down beneath the crust?
The planet is a big ol’ ball of rock covered iron, and since rock is heavier than water the Earth sinks under the oceans not the other way around.
Water is lighter than rock. Also, superheated steam is lighter than rock.
This is why rocks sink when thrown into water, while water thrown onto rock floats.
Also, paper covers rock, but water smooshes paper.
Water does seep down into cracks in the Earth’s crust, but as it approaches the magma and hot regions of the lithosphere, it heats up, which will force the expanding and superheated water to rise, and then it comes out of hydrothermal vents.
So water does find its way down, but the Earth is not empty, so there’s really nowhere for all that water to go, then because of the temperature difference, it comes back up.
ahhh. i feel smarter now… thanks!
What about really tiny rocks?
But nothing beats TIGER HAND!!!
CHURCHES! Churches…
I really hope Ludovic was making a Monty Python reference, otherwise the “churches” crack doesn’t make a lick of sense
No, No, I truly BELEIVE, don’t forget to take into account the water canopy theory… but the TRUTH is we’re living on top of the canopy!!! 
Shit! That was hysterical. Thanks, Inigo.
Lead! Lead!
