24
What happened to many of the craters if the Earth was bombarded by a meteor shower?

What would’ve flowed out of the “fountains of the great deep”?

26
What would the introduction of Subterranean Waters do to the ocean floor?
Raise the Sea Level
27
What does the Volcanos do the the surrounding waters as observed today?
Transports High Amounts of Energy into the waters forcing the waters to travel laterally as massive sea waves like Tsunamis.
