Let's make things simple.
You took the diagram I posted as being mine. I'm talking about the Orlando Ferguson map. I merely used it as a show diagram to illustrate my stance on what I believe may be our reality.
I could've used an orange squeezer but that would've equally raised the same questions amid obvious attempted ridicule.
The thing is, you seem to know what I'm saying or you wouldn't be mentioning what you are.
So how about you draw what you think I mean and I'll tell you when you're closer to the set up, if this is causing you a bit of grief.
I used two maps if you can remember correctly. This should've given you a bit of food for thought. Can you remember? It wasn't too far back.
Let's make it simple again.
A gradual gradient is exactly what it says. I even mentioned about trekking it and not really realising you're gaining height as in, if you were walking up a hill.
Basically we're talking a walk over MAYBE a few thousands miles to the centre but we can't get to the centre so you have to take that as nothing more than a guess.
However, most of the gradient is in water as a slope down.
Go down to a beach and walk towards the low tide. You know you're walking down into a bowl but it's so gradual.
This is what it would be like with the set up I gave.
You see raised islands coming out of deep sea and you see many massive continents that rise up out of the sea in the same manner I explained.
If you can't get your head around it then it's best you do as many sketches as you think you need to do to get it to what I'm trying to explain.
I told you what would happen the second I put up a sketch so why would I waste another second doing one.
I'll leave that to you and others and if you don't want to then just leave it at that and go with what you think. I have no issue of you want to think the oceans are thousands of miles deep according to your take on my Earth musing.
It changes nothing from my side.
Is there more to come....
Unfortunately for some reason my post went in after I typed a few words. I simply edited it because this set up only gives you 5 minutes to edit.
