on earth are there any possibilities of water cover everywhere? or whether the water-age will come on earth in 500 years, the earth is covered with the water portion as greater than that of land portion? the rising carbon layors,the imbalanced polution, excessive heat discharges, the smoke rise through earth, will it help in forming more dense clouds? and later the clouds may fall water for many years and then only the possibility may come into existance of being water-water everywhere, no land will remain, the earth will be called after WATER-EARTH, is it possible?

Sunil,
It happened once; it COULD happen again, but I don't think so (the rainbow!).

Then again - if the temperature rises enough (whatever cause) and all ice melts - WOW! :unsure:

What do YOU think?

Is there actually enough water in the ice caps, atmosphere etc. to cover the entire globe to the depth of Mount Everest? My uneducated guess would be no but I don't know how deep we could get the oceans.

Surely as the oceans covered a larger area, there would be more evaporation back into the atmosphere. It would take a major change to turn all the H2O into liquid water.
