Flooding

trueman100

i just want to say about world flooding problem. do u know how many cargo ship bulding everyday.one time i saw a cargo ship storage.omg it was like 5 time gardai station in waterford.and the captain told me that it was small cargo ship.he said that there is one like a football stadium. can you imagine if 5 ship a day joining the world water everyday , of course world will flood.just think about it

looksee

I'm a small bit concerned you might be serious :eek:

Funniest thing I've read in years....

Why don't we just dig a hole in the middle of an island somewhere and let some of the ocean into it, we could cure the flooding once and for all....

Brilliant! If there was a 100,000 tonne container vessel for every person in China the sea level might go up a millimetre*






*roughly!

You have to be one of those people that was hiding all prepped up in their fortified homemade bunker waiting for the aliens to invade on the 21st of this month.

He's right.. the water them ships displace has to go somewhere. so if they all came out the level would probably drop by 1mm or less.

The surface area of the earth is 4pr2 (4 times Pi times the radius squared)

Take Pi at 3.142
Taking the average radius of the earth as being 6,368 km
This gives a surface area for the earth as 509650292.8 square kms
Since the oceans occupy approximately 70% of the earths surface and for the sake of it if we take 1mm over the entire ocean surface we get 356.75 cubic kms.

One of the biggest tankers would have a displacement of 0.00003 cubic kms.

That means you would need 11 million, 891 thousand six hundred and sixty six of those tankers to displace 1mm of water in the oceans.

(It's a slow night, but it had to be done)

Are my figures right?

I've no idea whether your figures are right, but I am seriously impressed, I was always hopeless at sums.

Your figures might be a bit more right then mine since I just plucked it out of the air.

The "...or less" in your statement qualifies it as being accurate......;) nice move...

Any tankers in it?............:D

Nearly deep enough! If the lawn was a football pitch the game would be called off.

I left the dog out for a run this morning, the tar-monster from scooby doo came back in, she ploughed the garden and got a bath for her troubles.....
