I've never heard about this possibility before, but it just came up in my mind when I posted the pic about that massive sinkhole.

Every crack and fissure in the earth's crust is already filled with water. A huge new crack would create tsunamis and an equal and opposite upheaval of land mass displaced to create the crack.

No, the ocean won't disappear.

This. For the uninitiated: There’s a 400-million-year-old ocean beneath West Virginia. It's called the Iapetus Ocean. Saw a video about a family that tapped into it, think, like a drilled well. The family evaporates the water and they package & sell the salt left behind.

This opens up all kinds of interesting questions about the interior of the earth. Rock sinks in water. How do massive underground caverns capable of holding entire oceans exist? Shouldn't heavier rock sink towards the center of the earth, pushing the lighter (and liquid) water to the surface? I'm not a flat earth retard, but the idea of the earth being a solid sphere is hard to reconcile. Wouldn't that much water under pressure cause massive geysers? Is the rock above it really that water tight and rigid? How did the giant void get there to hold the water in the first place with gravity acting upon it for billions of years?

I think the water undergound is better described as a bucked of gravel that is then filled with water. There are not likely any ocean sized cavities. But their are ocean sized areas where both the rock/stone/gravel and water are mixed together.

I could be wrong about all this. But this is how it was described to me.

Only a White man would ask so many questions about that.

The earth is expanding in size.

The big one is salt. The small one is fresh. And the tiny one is rivers. Underground not depicted. https://pic8.co/sh/oyU87N.jpg

Genesis 7:11 NLT‬ [11] When Noah was 600 years old, on the seventeenth day of the second month, all the underground waters erupted from the earth, and the rain fell in mighty torrents from the sky.

There's already a massive ocean below the crust of our planet. If God wills, we'd all drown, again.

Yes and it probably already happened. There's more water in the Earth's mantle than in the oceans.

There is already more water under ground and under the ocean than there is water in all of the oceans, rivers, lakes, streams, brooks, creeks, springs and ditches combined.

Nope, that would require massive sub-plate caverns which dont exist.

Water does infiltrate tectonic boundaries, and there's a good case to argue that it's important for lubricating them and allowing the plates to slide more more smoothly. Which, incidentally, does wonders for the strength of our magnetic field. Easily sliding plates = strong field = not dying from radiation.

massive sub-plate caverns which dont exist.

They do exist and are called Tectonic Caves.

Tectonic caves occur in many geologic settings and in great numbers, since they are produced by minor slippages in outcrops of massive sandstones, granites, basalts, and even limestone. Tectonic caves are among the most common caves, but they are rarely noticed or catalogued.

Here's a hypothetical question... If all the Earth's landmass eroded to below sea level how deep would the oceans be?

Good question. A wild guess... if you filled all the trenches in with mountain ranges and ground the hills down, you'd have a world covered in ...100' of water on average, I'd say.

When the Book of Revelation goes over all of the mass destruction, I could see this being one of the occurrences, to be sure.

Satellite geo surveys do not show any large voids in the plates. The magma underneath is molten, so any voids in the magma layer would be quickly filled. When a fissure opens in a plate, it is quickly filled with magma. If it reaches the surface, we get a volcanic eruption.
