If this were to occur, not all fish would disappear because we do have aquariums, and if the world was full of water, then the fish would be able to swim out of the aquariums preserving certain species of animals
I was hoping this would be more "What if water and land happened to be in opposite places," rather than having them actually change overnight. It's more interesting to see what a different world would be like instead of just a sudden catastrophe. Can you please do more "What if things were naturally and already different?" type things, instead of the inevitable "What would the disaster be like if things changed all at once?" We already know the answer to that and it doesn't even matter much what the hypothetical actually is... because ALL sudden major changes will be catastrophic. It doesn't even matter what changes. But if things already happen to be different from the way they are now, there's a chance that might be okay. Or even, perhaps, better than what we have now. It's a lot more interesting conceptually than just another disaster.
As someone who lives at 900 m above sea level and 400 km away from the closest large body of water, and doesn’t even have a car, I see this as an absolute loss
Used to live in a motel built on the sand of the beach, there were a few times the land under my home was replaced with water, one time being the reason I had to move lol
as a crocodile I see this as an absolute win, lots of fish for me and with only 40 percent of humans surviving this is going to be a buffet making us bigger. Water will be one of the most important thing on earth and crocs are probably living near all of them hiding under muddy water. So basically the luckiest people are the ones who died fast while sleeping. The unlucky ones are the people who still need to survive the harsh conditions of the new earth.
Do you think aliens from long ago hid the secrets to interstellar travel in there, and the reason why they hid it in there was because they believed when humanity could go there is the time humanity is mature enough to handle such technological secrets?
If water floods into the land and drowns the people, as in actively moves onto the land, then a lot of fish will survive because they'd literally be carried along with the water.
Even if everything is underwater, that doesn’t mean that it’s gone. Everything in costal cities would be able to be salvaged because the water isn’t deep.
well in some place they are doing that to mosquitoes. they have altered them to be less fertile each generation passing this edited gene on to others till they can no longer reproduce.
If a wave washes across land wouldn’t it bring sealife? And what about land shifting…water flows down so it’d just go back where it came from. Not float against an invisible wall
@@ReniRN7 that’s not how he explains it. He’s pro land life and against sea life. He says land animals would be ok n fight n survive but says essentially that the sea life would stay put and die out. If one moves it’s only fair both do. On that thought tho. How would the plant life continue on n have to regrow. All the seeds n such would be under the water. Sea plants would dry out and die, land plants would become over saturated. Possibly some seeds will float and hit landmass but a majority would go fully extinct
Two questions here: 1) How toxic would the new Oceans be? Considering all the fuels, chemicals and nuclear shit still radiating? 2) what if only one continent would be flooded? How would life be affected by the americas submerged? Or if Australia becomes the the Aussiean? Could the top of the Himalaya be a new remote tropical paradise? With more water surface would earth be colder? Could this end climate change? Could humans survive if the poles were flooded?
I have not watched the video yet. But saw the post about this post on your IG channel (What If HQ). When I read the first lines "what if water and land suddenly switched places?" The immediate thought that struck my mind was, "So what, with the switching of land and water, all that's on land and all that's in water will also get switched right." Then there will be no issues, right? The only issue I think of is, "deciding which land will get to move to which of the water locations😅." But I have another confusion, "All the water present is present on land only right. Then the total volume of land is more. And if we switch land with water all the land below water will also get switched with water. What's the condition then. Right?" I'm going to watch the vid on YT now, if my thoughts have been covered then everything's fine. But if not, please consider my thoughts and do reply.😁
I'm curious, in this scenario is the ocean floor rising to push the water onto land or are the continents receding inward? I feel like the main barrier to this happening is the fact that land is at a higher elevation than the ocean floor so the water flows where the elevation is lowest.
This video came into my recommended. Title and thumbnail seemed interesting so I clicked on it. The voice sounded familiar. Then I realized I've been watching What If on Snapchat all this time and never realized they had a UA-cam channel! Now I can finally put a voice to a face 😊
So for all the fish to die, that means that the water and land just switched magically. I thought you meant the water from the oceans would take over land, in a tsunami like fashion but completely so they just switch places. That would give fish and stuff a much higher chance of survival.
I thought this would be better… of course it would a mess if it just switched overnight! I was more interested in how Earth/life would’ve evolved had it been reversed, with 80% land and 20% water. How those ocean currents would be, how that affects the seasons, evolution as a whole, etc.. Title does say “suddenly switch places” so I’ll give you that. Just wanted more science on the inverse I guess
This May sound Ridiculous but the Only way we All can survive this is if Everyone on the Planet Drinks the Water Down 2 or 4 Swallows to Lower the Water Down to Waist Level or even Knee Level or Ankle Level which is The More Realistic Approach 💯..... 😶 But if our Planet was mostly Land like a Endless Jungle that Would be insane Because think about it, There would be -Zombies -Cannibals -Slashers -Slashers with Demonic Powers -Ghost with Otherworldly Powers -Demone with Otherworldly Powers -Mutants -Giants -Trolls -Ogars -Tons of Giant KONG's with Small Apes -Wrong Turns 1 into Cannibal Territorys -Urban Legend Slashers -All MonsterVerse Kaijus Thought of 😶 But at the End All Animals will Learn to become Better Friends and be around Each other
Resources might not be that scarce. There would be a lot of ships and boats laying on the new land masses (including sunken ships now on dry land) and people could either salvage materials off of them or use them as shelters. If the Titanic isn't a rust stain on the ocean floor by then, you might be able to explore the wreckage without having to worry about the crushing ocean depth.
When I saw the title of this video, I was thinking it would be more like imagining our planet with approximately 70 percent land and only 29 percent water, which is backwards from what how we actually know Earth. Like, I didn’t think this would be more of a climate change-type scenario that would act as a wake up call, where Mother Nature is trying to send us a critical message, stating that we would have to act as much as we need to do now if we really want to save our homes from catastrophic doom. I do believe in climate change as a whole worldwide issue we’re all focused on. And I know we’re all trying to reduce our carbon emissions leading to extreme hurricanes, tornadoes, and other disasters that could lead to perhaps a catastrophic asteroid from space striking us and potentially causing the human race to suddenly become extinct like the dinosaurs already have 65 million years ago.
I feel like the water suddenly shifting doesnt quite work since most of the land is of a higher altitude than the seabeds, and now trying to condense what was nearly 79% of the world's surface space onto 21% space. The physics alone of the water staying put doesn't work.
Leaving aside the situation of a sudden inversion of land and water masses, if a parallel earth simply had water where there is now land and vice versa, it would most likely be mostly barren desert with some relatively narrow green bands. Water from the American Sea and Eurasian Ocean wouldn’t make it all the way to the center of the Pacific Continent, meaning it would probably be more like the Australian Outback toward the center. Not to mention the Marianas Canyon would be a geographical feature to be worked around. At maximum depth, it would probably be too hot for anything to live. Notably, our current earth has all the oceans connected at some point or another. If this weren’t the case, there would not be any of the circulation of currents we see. Not to mention the seas, which would essentially be gigantic lakes, could slowly become more saline as mineral salts wash into them over time.
Meh this situation is statistically impossible as 71% of the earth is covered in water and there is no possible way that said water could fit into the remaining 29% of the current landmass that is not underwater, especially considering that areas like Antarctica which are currently ice would be melt, only adding hundreds of trillions of gallons of water to the already existing water. If this change were to occur it would simply result in the entire surface of the earth being water.
The only way this makes any sense is if the seafloor suddenly rose above sea level and anything that was previously above sea level dropping to where the sea floor used to be. It wouldn't be tsunami's but rather waterfalls, so all life on former land would drown and all life in the former seas would be swept into the new ones.
Can you imagine how the once oceanic trenches would look? Suddenly, the -1,400 foot below sea level Dead Sea that is the lowest point on earth, would become the -35,840 ft. bottom of the Marianas Trench which would become very hot in the future.
This is a nightmare even if you survive because the water will be so contaminated with dead bodies , waste, dirt from all the trash that would be in the ocean that went down with those cities….😢
According to the U.N. back in 2000 London was suppose to be underwater by 2020. What year is it now. Also scientists said in 10 years the artic will be ice free in the summer in 10 years again if I remember correctly they said that 10 years ago.
Well, In an alternative dimension where what is land is water and visa versa from the start then, we would have one big massive super continent bigger than Pangea. Kinda like in my comic about an alternative earth. However, there being less water and more land than our earth would mean living is slightly harder
Wouldn't the altitude of the land have to switch too? I mean, the land mass we are standing on today have to be lower than the ocean floor today in order to keep the water in place...
Hold on, how could a lake become an island, or a river bed in the altitude is lower from surrounding land? Mountains would be islands, plateaus and other elevated things.
Here's how I would approach this for another What If. As many have proposed let's leave the catastrophe aside and just assume the world is naturally the other way around: The Marianas Trech is the highest point in the planet and Mount Everest the lowest. Sure it wouldn't make sense to have the whole map reversed as for example volcanic islands such as Hawaii don't make sense turned upside down, but let's ignore that for the sake of simplicity.
First, you gotta be more specific about what you mean by land and water switching places. If you just moved all the ocean water onto the continents how they currently are, that would just cause a massive tsunami as all the water races back to refill the empty oceans. In order for this to work, the land that was formerly the oceans would need to be higher than what was once the continents. It would have to be something like the topography is now reversed meaning where there were once mountains are now underwater trenches. So, Mt. Everest would be the deepest point on Earth while the Mariana Trench is now the tallest Mountain. Underwater mountain ranges would also become lakes or in land seas while lakes like the Great Lakes and the Black and Caspian Sea are large islands. What would also make a difference is if the Earth retained all its water as this would affect the distribution and how deep the new oceans have to be. If the topography is just reversed, then a lot of the new continents would end up underwater especially since the former continents are smaller in area than the former ocean. Because of this, we would probably end up with a similar or a greater distribution of water. However, I'm not sure since I'm not familiar with ocean topography. Yet, I suspect sea level would still rise simply due to the continents having a smaller area to work with.
Precisely that’s what I thought too. This video doesn’t makes sense. For the cities to be submerged, the current ocean floor would have to be raised up way above.
😅 who forgot about the thing we call "gravity" Mnn land is more flat and oceans are deep I can't imagine the water floating above flat land And the deep ground without water Water is not solid so it would just slide back in much more deeper area
But you know, there is one big or i say biggest twist! How come water would go upward instead of downward. And moreover they wouldn't stay for a moment there.
totally impossible since all the modern day land is much much higher and all above sea level, so water cant just rush up the ocean to the land and stay there lol, it wouldnt have anything to hold it back from just back down to where it originally was
I'm misreading the title. When I see the sentence water and land switch place, my thought is that earth will be a green or forest/jungle planet instead of water planet. And it's unaffected by global climate disaster, as if the switched-greenland and switched water were there from the beginning.
Ignoring gravity for a second, how deep would these new oceans be? If you took the current volume of ocean and piled it onto the smaller area of land, seems like the new oceans would be three or four times as deep with less area to spread in. Also, since all the new land masses would be way below sea level (and this video leaves out any changes in elevation to account for the switch), does snow become super rare with no mountains? Alternatively, if the elevation had to change for the water to remain switched and figuring for the more extreme depth of these new oceans, what would the new elevation of the land masses need to be and what kind of life could survive at the new altitudes of thin air and lingering snows?

In order for this to work, the land that was formerly the oceans would need to be higher than what was once the continents. It would have to be something like the topography is now reversed meaning where there were once mountains are now underwater trenches. So, Mt. Everest would be the deepest point on Earth while the Mariana Trench is now the tallest Mountain. Underwater mountain ranges would also become lakes or in land seas while lakes like the Great Lakes and the Black and Caspian Sea are large islands.
What would also make a difference is if the Earth retained all its water as this would affect the distribution and how deep the new oceans have to be. If the topography is just reversed, then a lot of the new continents would end up underwater especially since the former continents are smaller in area than the former ocean. Because of this, we would probably end up with a similar or a greater distribution of water. However, I'm not sure since I'm not familiar with ocean topography. Yet, I suspect sea level would still rise simply due to the continents having a smaller area to work with.
Precisely that’s what I thought too. This video doesn’t makes sense. For the cities to be submerged, the current ocean floor would have to be raised up way above.
After seeing the title my first reaction is do the river turn into land and glaciers turn into sand
😅 who forgot about the thing we call "gravity"
Mnn land is more flat and oceans are deep
I can't imagine the water floating above flat land
And the deep ground without water
Water is not solid so it would just slide back in much more deeper area
But you know, there is one big or i say biggest twist!
How come water would go upward instead of downward. And moreover they wouldn't stay for a moment there.
You forgot about the one animal that Survive anything, Bacteria As long as that can survive Everything can just start all over again
Idea: What If John Lennon didn't get assassinated?
He said “I’ve to the year 3000
Not much has changed but they lived underwater”
As interesting as this concept is, I'm thankful that Earth is the way it is
totally impossible since all the modern day land is much much higher and all above sea level, so water cant just rush up the ocean to the land and stay there lol, it wouldnt have anything to hold it back from just back down to where it originally was
I'm misreading the title. When I see the sentence water and land switch place, my thought is that earth will be a green or forest/jungle planet instead of water planet. And it's unaffected by global climate disaster, as if the switched-greenland and switched water were there from the beginning.
What's with the talk of tree canopies and upper levels of skyscrapers? Surely, considering the depths of the oceans, they'd all be underwater too?
Ignoring gravity for a second, how deep would these new oceans be? If you took the current volume of ocean and piled it onto the smaller area of land, seems like the new oceans would be three or four times as deep with less area to spread in. Also, since all the new land masses would be way below sea level (and this video leaves out any changes in elevation to account for the switch), does snow become super rare with no mountains? Alternatively, if the elevation had to change for the water to remain switched and figuring for the more extreme depth of these new oceans, what would the new elevation of the land masses need to be and what kind of life could survive at the new altitudes of thin air and lingering snows?
Well ppl who say the earth is over populated will forever be silenced
Do a video on what if the sun and moon swapped places.
Old skyscrapers would be submerged under miles of water. No birds are making nests there.
Interesting what if Video.
This is a great video you made
