National Geographic Channel - telecast a 2 hour show about the Oceans and what their underlying land forms are 'without water'. The size of the mountain ranges and all other underwater formations dwarf anything we have on land.
Very interesting show - catch it if you can! -------------------- Never too old to have a happy childhood!  .......... ..........Don't put an age limit on your dreams! |

One other thing that was pointed out - Sea Level is not level. GPS measurments have discovered there are different levels of Sea Level - depends upon the underwater topography and currents. -------------------- Never too old to have a happy childhood! ....................Don't put an age limit on your dreams! |
