I think the pressure would be about the same, but the problem would be the churning up of the atmosphere. For example it may force the ozone layer to mix with lower denser layers which would not be good<br /><br />In terms of oxygen I think the bigger issue would be the sudden death of all land based plants and any in the sea which can't cope with the sudden change in salinity. A quick google suggests simple respiration won't deplete it quickly but I don't know what affect the water would have on the process of rotting. One guess given the darkness and pressure is not a lot happens until the water recedes and then goes mad (assuming the bacteria and fungi survive)@PerturbSecularhttp://twitter.com/#!/PerturbSecularnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7583674511519808833.post-28231391193426181062012-02-14T00:26:13.955+00:002012-02-14T00:26:13.955+00:00Thanks.

At 30,000 ...Thanks. That raises another question. <br /><br />At 30,000 feet few things can survive without special equipment due to low partial pressure of O2 and cold, but would that apply if the atmosphere had been displaced upward, effectively raising sea-level?Rosa Rubicondiorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06063268216781988588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7583674511519808833.post-50905172655036457742012-02-14T00:05:31.032+00:002012-02-14T00:05:31.032+00:00It is actually pretty minimal, an increase in mass...It is actually pretty minimal, an increase in mass of less 0.1%. Disastrous for the surface and may well drive the crust into the mantel but in terms of orbits not much effect. If my late night calculations are correct about a 10 minute change in the length of a day<br /><br />Getting that much water too and from the Earth would cause huge problems as well. As would the displacement of the atmosphereAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
