## Resource

Imagine if all the oceans suddenly vanished—could you just walk to other continents? Well, without water, you’d see giant valleys and rugged, rocky plains that were once the ocean floor, connecting places like North America to Asia! But getting across wouldn’t be a smooth stroll; the ocean bed is full of deep trenches, towering ridges, and endless mud that would make travel nearly impossible. Plus, with no oceans, Earth’s temperature would soar, turning these dried-out areas into scorching deserts. You’d face wild challenges like sandstorms, lack of food, and barely any fresh water to survive. So, technically, continents would be connected—but it’d be an extreme journey only the toughest explorers could handle! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
