Could it be another story in terms of the forming and developing of continents? - Ocean evaporating & losing hypothesis[edit source]
If this hypothesis is very absurd, please forgive my innocence. Cause, this page is a free discussion under the category of University; and. I needed to give a talk about my idea. As one of the postmodernist learners, I want to produce a critical thinking which has been rooted in my mind for long time. Every time facing this kind of paradigms, in my mind, there has always been a vision with different interpretations.
To be honest, from childhood, the formal theory in geography which I have accepted before were orthodox Continental Drift (Resources from Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continental_drift) and its development - Plate tectonics (Resource from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_tectonics). I deeply agree with them. Just because so many evidences showed it almost absolutely the truth. But, continents weren't really flowing upon ocean (the beginning), but then mantle floor.
However, watching Mars - a ‘dried’ earth (Resources from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars), do you think it is somewhat the future of earth (a little bit small)? If so, where is the water? Could it be the possible that the water was evaporated and lost into the universe? It might be faster that the loss-speed of Mars' than earth's, because of its small mass.
Could it tell us another story of how earth's continents are forming?
1.Our earth used to be a huge water-ball hanging in solar system; 2. As time's passing by, the opened atmosphere has been continuously losing its water steam into the outer space; 3. until one day, the higher parts of the earth (They were made by the interactive forces between earth's self-rotation and its revolution) have emerged as the continents; 4. After thousand millions' years, the shapes of today's continents have formed; 5. The squares of them are enlarged; and finally, water will disappear totally as Mars'. (merely in poles)
Did this hypothesis give you a vision as the flood's disappearing in the session of Noah's Ark? (Resources from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noah%27s_Ark)
