Comment on If you smoothened out the earth, how high would the water level be?

I'd think not a lot higher than currently.
Thos says average land elevation is 840m

Spread that over the other 70% of the surface and your probably down at a 3-400 hundred metres you floated it on top of the sea. Which i think is approxiimately the same thing if the land displaces its volume equally. I guess there'd be a decent amount of compression though so, my guess is mot much more than a few hundred metres.
Anyway, I'm sure the good people of the Netherlands will find a way to foil your dastardly scheme.

Their idea is like throwing all material that is currently located above sea level into the sea which would subsequently increase the “sea level” as the radius of the sphere defined by the water surface, not the depth of the ocean on a perfectly spherical earth.
