Same way that the northern hemisphere of Mars is a lot lower than the southern hemisphere - crustal thickness.
The far side has a thicker crust than the near side, apparently due to the effect of earthshine from the molten earth on the near side early in the Moon's history.
Everything is very open with a clear description of the issues. It was truly informative. Your website is very helpful. Many thanks for sharing! https://www.upsers.onl/
You're right, of course, but I still found it fascinating and inspiring to get some idea of what Venus would look like with seas (and a reasonable temperature to make that possible, no doubt). For me it doesn't need to be correct in every detail. Just like reading a novel, my willing suspension of disbelief can handle this level of "fantasy"/speculation.
It's a beautiful image of Venus-in-a-next-door-cosmos anyway.
I somehow expected that this article would talk about technical issues on how to deliver water to planets and how to drain them and where to put that water.
To be fair, if all ice would melt, neither Greenland nor Antarctic would have hole - crust would rebound due to ice removal. Another thing - most of the melted water would flow to equator, so there should be adjusted loss to flooding in northern regions and even more calculated to equator regions.
i don't know that much about the topic why the water go to the equator, pleas some good resource about the topic, search for this is kind a mess full of fakenews and yellow press.
Could be centrifugal force due to the earths rotation but more likely has something to do with temperature. Could be a combination of both. I'm just guessing though
So, it could be quite possible, that even with sea level rise, crust rebound will play bigger role around poles and there might be some new lands in the sea around north pole - as it is quite shallow ocean near Russia and Canada.
Not gonna happen, the earth will dry out.
No pipes will fix it.
Only taxes on "free" countries and politicians talking will solve us out of this next big thing.

It was observed in other planets first: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetary_coordinate_system#Eq...

Is it because of a tidal effect or something due to the nearby Earth? Would the same thing happen to water on the moon?
