I was thinking about how earth was once a water world with no continents billions of years ago and wondering whether I was picking up that time or whether the water world Earth of 1 million years in the future is valid too.
When I went deep and intuited this I realized that both are true and real equally though in different ways.
In the past the earth was still evolving into what it is now and is continuing to evolve now even as I write this.
I had wondered for a time how we get from Continents and mountain ranges back to water except for volcanic islands springing sort of like the Big Island of Hawaii and all the islands north of there all the way to Midway Island which were all created by the same volcanic Vent south of the Big Island of Hawaii at Volcanoes National Park there?
note: If you were wondering how Midway Island can come from exactly the same volcanic vent as the big Island of Hawaii, over time the plates tend to drift somewhat northward. So, the same vent over time created Kauai, Oahu, Maui, and the big Island of Hawaii as well as Midway Island and possibly other islands as well like Lanai? and Molokai? end note.
The most logical explanation I can come up with over the next 1 million years is that there are some pretty fierce storms and winds that literally wear and sandblast the continents away.
I have already experienced in both California and the Hawaiian Islands how the oceans are reclaiming more land every winter in both places.
For example, where I live over the last 2 years of storms I would say the coast has been eaten away (the sandstone cliffs) by about 10 feet total. The Boardwalk nearby where I live has been completely washed away and the redwood slats for people to walk on are now mostly gone as well.
So, for me, it's a logical progression that as the oceans rise and the storms get bigger and stronger and since at higher temperatures the air can hold about 5 times more water (which we now see is causing havoc worldwide in places like North Carolina or Austria into Eastern Europe or recently Tucson Arizona where a Sheriffs pick up truck is washing away literally with him in the bed of the truck leaning against the cab.
So, as storms become worse and worse (both in rain fall and in winds) haphazardly around the world, many places one by one are all going to literally wash away and be different than before.
I think these wind and inundations will continually increase at least during this century and things will be a lot different on earth 80 years from now in the next Century after 2100 AD.
