Originally posted by Admiral Zaarin Actually, I'm pretty certain that there is sufficient water on Earth including ground water, ice, etc. to submerse the land; perhaps Kamino is just closer to its sun or has a more luminous sun. Even Mars is theorized to have enough water to cover the planet ankle deep.

If there was, we'd be under water or under ice right now. Since we're not, it's safe to say that the entire land area wouldn't be submersed. Even with all the ice melted, it still wouldn't do it because ice takes up more space than water does.

I, too, would be hard pressed to imagine Kamino is competely and totally covered with water. There's probably small islands around the planet, but they're probably either too rocky or some other problem with them that it was just easier to build cities on water.

Lol, Kaminoans ran into the same problem everyone in the US has when they want real estate. They got tired of the Environmental Protection Agency and Wildlife Preservation Society and said the hell with it and moved into oceanic cities.

There's a guy making fictional variants on Earth with big beach balls. One of them was a variant exploring what would happen if we inverted the land and the ocean and then poured all the water back in, and there was about 5% land left.

Oh here it is.
