Quote:to cover all land on earth you would need to raise the sea level by roughly the height of the highest mountains which are about 8km
earth ahs about 500 million square kilometers of area so that’s 4000,000,000km³ or 400,000,000,000,000,0000m³ or 4,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 liters
and secondly… that’s a good question - because neither is there any source where so much water could suddenly come from, nor is there anywhere it would go
if by magic all land was flooded then it would probably remain so until the earth gets destroyed in billions of years - well, maybe it ges a few meters lower and you gt like 2 tiny mountaintop islands but that’s about it
water can sometimes get into the mantle of the earth but only in very limited amounts and it comes back up again - and tiny amounts of water vapor can be blown off into space but again, tiny amounts
Your numbers are too small, because as the water gets deeper, the surface gets larger in a spherical and not orthogonal manner, and the sphere of the Earth with 8km of water is now 16 km wider in diameter.
