    This is hard to explain in english, but as a chilean, we have a terrible "problemo":
    Our coast is 6430 km lenght (4000 miles), and right in front of all of our coast, from north to south, it is located the Peru-Chile Trench, that delineates the boundary between the Nazca Plate and the South American Plate. This trench is the responsible for all the earthquakes that we have in Chile, and is very deep (at 8000 meters under the water, 4.9 miles), and located only at 160km or 100 miles from the coast, under the water.
    So, if the sea level drops by 1000 meters, all of our coast cities will be located in front of an unbelievable huge fall, very inclined, similar to a cliff. It's like if those cities where built in the middle of a very high mountain. The water will be very far away, and it will be very hard to find some land to build in those places.

      hmm you know that a drop of 8000 metres over a distance of 160 km is actually nothing like a cliff at all? It's a ratio of 1 in 20 which is a really gentle slope. I know it's not uniform and there would be steeper bits but those would tend to be near the bottom of the trench, not in the first 1000 metres.

      It looks like he just dropped the water level just past the continental slope. Sure, it'd give us more land, but it'd wreck havoc on the environment and ocean currents. Not to mention oceanic trade would be severely impacted.
      And where'd all that water go?! Did it evaporate? If so then that would drop lake water levels as well. If it got locked up in ice all that land mass in Canada and Russia would be covered in glaciers and would add to the water level of the upper Northern Hemisphere lakes like the Great Lakes, the Hudson Bay, and Caspian Sea (depending on the southern extent of the ice sheet).
      That gradual deepening of the water you talked about is also where a lot of marine organisms live. And the continental slope is where a lot of sedimentation occurs and upwelling of nutrients in the winter months happen, 1000m (~3281ft) below sea level.

    • @dtvjho
      @dtvjho 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +11

      Yes, the new sea level, being below the edges of the continental shelves worldwide, means the end of flat beaches in most areas, the level is part way down the cliffs that already exist, but the lower 80% of the cliffs would remain submerged. An effect on sea trade would be the elimination of large flats and shallows, and the need for constant dredging. Large ships could berth directly at the cliffs with new terminals. But most saltwater marshes would disappear.

      I'm wondering what driving through the mountains of Greenland would be like,
      especially as the low sea levels imply an ice age with a huge ice sheet
      across North America and a much bigger ice sheet in Greenland
      as compared to the ice sheet there today.

  • @geofflepper3207
    @geofflepper3207 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +10

    A few things:
    1 - Some parts of seas would become cut off from the oceans
    and with no outlets which means that eventually they
    might become very salty and have higher concentrations of contaminants.
    2 - This would cause huge problems for marine life used to today's geography
    as migratory species would in some cases be cut off by land barriers
    and obviously a lot of shorelines would move significant distances.
    3 - For this to occur the water has to go somewhere and that presumably
    would be into massive ice sheets covering much of North America,
    Europe and Asia.
    Those incredibly heavy ice sheets tend to push down the middle of continents
    while in places the coastlines just outside the ice sheets might rise
    the same way that when you sit on a mattress the part you sit on goes down
    while the mattress around you actually rises up.
    Apparently in North America the middle of the continent is still slowly
    rising recovering from being pushed down in the last ice age
    while some areas around the coasts such as Washington DC
    which rose during the last ice age are still today sinking in recovery -
    that's a problem in an era when due to climate change
    sea levels are rising and heavier storms upriver could mean
    higher storm surges in the river flowing through Washington.
    4 - Such a change in ocean levels would almost certainly play havoc
    with ocean currents such as the gulf stream which currently
    keeps Europe far warmer than its latitude would imply .....
    though that may not matter much as the much lower sea levels
    indicates that Europe would already be covered by an ice sheet
    as the most likely place for all that sea water to go is into ice sheets.
    5 - If sea levels are 1,000 metres lower in a sense that means that every
    place on land is effectively 1,000 metres higher altitude above sea level.
    If that means that atmospheric pressure becomes lower at
    every place on land on Earth does that mean that people
    start finding themselves more out of breath where they live
    and does that mean that it becomes impossible for anyone
    to climb to the top of Mount Everest or K2 and survive?
    Could even a modern mountain climber with full modern equipment
    have climbed those mountains during the last ice age when
    sea levels were much lower?
    6 - Surely this will play havoc with weather patterns and river flows.
    7 - If this magically happened overnight it would really mess up
    business for ports, costal tourist resorts, fishing communities, etc
    that would find themselves far from water with all their
    water related infrastructure far up above sea levels.
    A lot of ships would suddenly be stranded, aground far from the sea.
    In terms of sudden changes like that the 1968 Canadian film
    The Rise and Fall of the Great Lakes with canoeist Bill Mason
    is amusing, somewhat informative and available online.

    One of the problems with simulations is with interior seas currently connected to world sea level. Programs frequently fail to take into account the depth of the straits that tie them to the ocean. Once sea level falls below the bottom of the strait, that connection dries up, and the interior sea levels off (and becomes a fresh water lake). For the Black Sea to be cut off, world sea level needs to drop 110m. The Strait of Gibraltar is 950m deep, so at 1000m the Mediterranean would be cut off.

    Hence, is it possible other landmasses, [e.g. Mid-Atlantic Ridge and/or larger Zealandia or Hawaii] might rise above the lower sea level?
    To date, I haven't seen any glacial maximum maps take this into account. Just asking.

    That North Korean monument map is fascinating.

I imagined this world as being geopolitically dominated by the South-East Asian/Australian/Micronesian part of the world (or whatever they'd call themselves in this parallel Earth) making them the equivalent of old world European power. Conversely Europe would have considered to have been the more obscure and fringe part of their known world - with Eastern Europe and the Balkans being the equivalent of India, Western and Central Europe being a more disunited Indonesia/Malaysia, and the Baltics, British Islands and Scandinavian countries being the least developed Papuan-esque region. I've often tried to mess around with 3D mapping sites to create what an atlas would look like in such a world - one that centralizes South-East Asia and Australia and nearby archipelagos, and puts Europe on the "edge" of that world's imagination.

    As a non native English speaker I find it fascinating to observe changes that are taking place in the language.
    One such change is the conjugation of irregular verbs.
    I notice that the past perfect tense becomes like the past tense. Like when as in this video the narrator consistently say "has became".
    As far as I can tell there are few verbs for which that is not the case. The verb "to be". I never once heard anyone say "has was".
    I distinctly hear the narrator still consider "to grow" to be irregular. He still uses the old "has grown" and not "has grew".
    Interesting.
