This coming from "Gummi Bear" is laughable.

Re: Really Hard Trivia
Why is it that if things are within 30 or 40% of each other they are the same thing?

Re: Really Hard Trivia
*Sigh* Fine, I'll rephrase my question. Based on sea level, the highest and lowest points on Earth are mathematically only 6% (7 whatever) different from each other. Why is that?

Let me try to make this easy for you.CentralTexasCrude wrote: ↑Mon Feb 14, 2022 9:35 pm*Sigh* Fine, I'll rephrase my question. Based on sea level, the highest and lowest points on Earth are mathematically only 6% (7 whatever) different from each other. Why is that?
The tallest place on earth is Mt Everest at 29,035 ft above sea level
The deepest place on earth is in the Mariana Trench at 36,201 ft above sea level. (about 1.4 miles different)
That would make Mariana 25% deeper than Everest is tall. Which is a lot. It would be the difference in a person 5'-0" tall next to a person 6'-3" tall.

Plate tectonics.

I'm going to bet that he goes with some variation of this answer because it sounds geologicky and his original answer doesn't make any sense now that he found out they aren't even remotely close in distance from sea level.Antknot wrote: ↑Mon Feb 14, 2022 10:56 pmPlate tectonics.

Firstly, that was a TV show episode not a film. Secondly, the Bond character is portrayed as an American spy working for the ‘Combined Intelligence Agency’.
I mean come on….. Puuuleese!

Re: Really Hard Trivia
Pretty much this. Erosion of the highest mountains due to weather above. Plate tectonics, sublimation recycling keeping the depth pretty constant below.Antknot wrote: ↑Mon Feb 14, 2022 10:56 pmPlate tectonics.

Re: Really Hard Trivia
So erosion of the highest mountains happens at the same rate as plate tectonics sublimation recycling?CentralTexasCrude wrote: ↑Mon Feb 14, 2022 11:36 pmSure. I never said the same 2 forces were at work.
