Good point and info there, cooperton. I had forgotten about water below ground.
I think we need a physical mechanism that would lift the water out from below ground. A closer moon, and therefore an increased pull from above, might do that. It would be like gravity had weakened. Water might bubble up from below.
Just a theory of mine. The moon would make a good shield from all sorts of things like CMEs and solar flares, if the moon could be moved to intercept. I wonder if the lack of lunar rotation is the cause of the lack of lunar magnetic field.
A closer lunar orbit with lunar rotation might create a lunar magnetic field, which would affect the earth's magnetic field. Maybe strengthen the joint field to the point of regulating electromagnetic weather.
Like I said, just a theory I play around with sometimes. The moon as the ultimate shield.

Unbreathable Air
The conventional flood story states that the flood waters came from rain that lasted 40 days and 40 nights (Genesis 7:12).[note 1] Rain appears when the atmosphere can no longer support water in the vapor phase and it becomes saturated. Normally, the atmosphere is on the brink of saturation, and the variations in temperature and pressure caused by weather fronts are capable of altering the threshold at which precipitation will form quite easily. What about the amount of water vapor suspended in air needed for the 4.5 billion cubic kilometers of water needed for the global flood? The water vapor currently in the air is only around 2 to 3 percent on average, with a maximum of 4% limited by temperature and pressure.[6] The change in atmospheric conditions required to support enough vapor for 112 million cubic kilometers of rain per day — about 120,000 times more than the current daily rainfall worldwide[7] — would have rendered the air unbreathable.
Indeed, the atmosphere really couldn't sustain that much water even under the most extreme temperature and pressure conditions the planet can produce. If the conditions were right for that much water to be in the atmosphere, humans and virtually every other animal would have drowned through the simple act of breathing, as well as turning the earth into the equivalent of a pressure cooker with atmospheric pressure at nearly a thousand psi instead of the standard 14.7 or so that we have today. In fact, the pressure would have to be at least a thousand atmospheres to fit the 15 kilograms of water per cubic meter required to produce that much rain, which is 1) greater than the pressure at the bottom of the ocean and 2) enough to crush a human so five of them would fit in a soda can. Barring the goddidit escape hatch (a tried and tested fallback for creationists everywhere), this is impossible.

Noahs Ark and the World Wide Flood Story is just a myth and it never happened. Science and historical archeological evidence prove it. The science and the historical facts are all on this thread -
ATS Thread - Noahs Ark and the Biblical World Wide Flood Never Happened
Not enough water on or in the planet for the story to be true as told.

Recently, groundbreaking scientific discoveries have been rolling out at a breathtaking pace, from astronomical research on what's inside a black hole, to the majestic 8th continent and the North American lake larger than the Great Lakes combined.
Each one of these findings seemed incomprehensible until now. Yet, perhaps the most awe-inspiring is this: deep beneath our feet, below the Earth's crust, lies a colossal ocean.

Not possible eh FlyersFan?
An upper bound on the amount of water in the mantle can be obtained by considering the amount of water that can be carried by its minerals (their storage capacity). This depends on temperature and pressure. There is a steep temperature gradient in the lithosphere where heat travels by conduction, but in the mantle the rock is stirred by convection and the temperature increases more slowly (see figure).[13] Descending slabs have colder than average temperatures.
The mantle can be divided into the upper mantle (above 410 km depth), transition zone (between 410 km and 660 km), and the lower mantle (below 660 km). Much of the mantle consists of olivine and its high-pressure polymorphs. At the top of the transition zone, it undergoes a phase transition to wadsleyite, and at about 520 km depth, wadsleyite transforms into ringwoodite, which has the spinel structure. At the top of the lower mantle, ringwoodite decomposes into bridgmanite and ferropericlase

No. Not possible. The so called 'ocean' isn't sweet liquid water. It's ringwoodite, wadsleyite, olivine (2% water), and other minerals and crystals. SOLIDS. Calling what is underground 'water' is misleading. It's not liquid water. The water in the mantle is incorporated into the rock and minerals. The high temperatures and pressures found in the Earth's interior incorporate water into the crystalline structure of minerals in the mantle. The ringwoodite is 1.5 percent water, present not as a liquid but as hydroxide ions (oxygen and hydrogen molecules bound together).It doesn't get released until you destroy the crystal.

No it doesn't. You've been told that before. You should have listened.

The researchers say verbatim that there is 40% fluid water in these layers. You not wanting to admit it doesn't mean they're wrong.

And the "water" previously brought up isn't liquid. It's solid. Minerals. Crystals.
There is not enough water there for it to cover the earth higher than Mount Everest.
I am not going to discuss it with you because you play armchair geologist, when in fact you are clueless.
