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.
Except there are ocean sized underground cavities!
Ogallala Aquifer (High Plains Aquifer):
Located in the central United States
Underlies about 174,000 square miles (450,000 km²) across eight states
One of the world's largest aquifers by volume
Great Artesian Basin:
Located in Australia
Covers approximately 1,711,000 km² (660,000 square miles), about one-fifth of Australia
Estimated water storage volume of 64,900 trillion liters (14,200 trillion gallons)
Considered the world's largest aquifer by area
Global deep groundwater:
A 2021 study estimated there are around 20 million cubic kilometers of deep groundwater (below 2 km depth)
Combined with shallower groundwater, the total underground water is estimated at 44 million cubic kilometers
This makes underground water the largest reservoir of water on land, surpassing the volume of Earth's ice sheets
Other major aquifers mentioned:
Guarani Aquifer System (South America)
North China Aquifer System
Indus-Ganges-Brahmaputra Basin (South Asia)
Nubian Aquifer System (North Africa)
Arabian Aquifer System (Middle East)
I'm not sure that the word "aquifer" is meaning to refer to a cavity filled only with water. I think it's just water mixed in with various minerals.
Only a White man would ask so many questions about that.
The earth is expanding in size.
