Imagine a world where the cities we know are underwater. And what used to be the ocean, is now a barren wasteland. This is a world where every piece of water and land have suddenly switched places. Which species of animals and plants would fare the best? Is there anyway humans could survive this? And what would our new Earth look like?

Drowning can be easily prevented using a water breathing potion

I was hoping this would be more "What if water and land happened to be in opposite places, " rather than having them actually change overnight. It's more interesting to see what a different world would be like instead of just a sudden catastrophe.

Can you please do more "What if things were naturally and already different?" type things, instead of the inevitable "What would the disaster be like if things changed all at once?" We already know the answer to that and it doesn't even matter much what the hypothetical actually is... because ALL sudden major changes will be catastrophic. It doesn't even matter what changes.

But if things already happen to be different from the way they are now, there's a chance that might be okay. Or even, perhaps, better than what we have now. It's a lot more interesting conceptually than just another disaster.

It would then be 70% land and 30% water

As someone who lives 30 meters away from the ocean, and has a boat, I see this as an absolute win.

How about this?

What if we got rid of all mosquitoes in the world? Or flies?

[touyatodoroki]

We could possibly see what’s inside the Mariana Trench

[darthfishimouse]

If a wave washes across land wouldn’t it bring sealife? And what about land shifting…water flows down so it’d just go back where it came from. Not float against an invisible wall

[aliabbaszoher]

I think the people at the coast would have it the worst because that is the pathway for water to travel during the switch.

What If a Mercury-Type Planet with a Mars-Like Atmosphere replaced Venus and an Earth-Type Planet with a Titan-Like Atmosphere replaced Mars

[trippyrain]

What if the water on earth was on the moon, would we see it in the day ?

[andrewquinn]

At least it would now be easy to visit the Titanic

[Drevid]

I guess gravity is suspended in this new fantasy.

[UntitledCrown]

Ah yes, something i used to enjoy for some reason as a kid at 6 years old to 8.

If you managed to get your hands on a decent sized boat you might have a good chance of surviving but it would definitely not be easy😊

[Abinapro]

This would have been a real Land world.

[BlikketOpad]

Two questions here:
1) How toxic would the new Oceans be? Considering all the fuels, chemicals and nuclear shit still radiating?
2) what if only one continent would be flooded? How would life be affected by the americas submerged? Or if Australia becomes the the Aussiean? Could the top of the Himalaya be a new remote tropical paradise?
With more water surface would earth be colder? Could this end climate change?
Could humans survive if the poles were flooded?

[RCSVirginia]

This scenario makes me think of the Mars of Edgar Rice Burroughs and Leigh Brackett.

[maryy]

If water floods into the land and drowns the people, as in actively moves onto the land, then a lot of fish will survive because they'd literally be carried along with the water.

There’s no 13th floor flushing if you whole building under water unless you’ve built a skyscraper under water
