1. I don't know it must haave rained and rained and rained and rained some billions of years ago. 2 Probably some billions of years ago.3 For us to live duh

isn't it usually 4 years?

Around 600,000 years old. Maybe even older.

over time the water 'hitting' the coast erodes it by removing the particles (happens over long peiods of time)

something like 11088000 years but at the rate of construction in California like two weeks.lol

WTF? It wasn't a yes or no question.\n\nYellowstone has a recurrance interval of 600,000 years.  That the average time between eruptions.  It's been 640,000 years since the last eruption.  However, don't get too excited, the standard deviation is HUGE.  On geologic time(10,000 yrs) there's a decent chance of eruption.  On human time (the next 60 years) there's about zero.

i think that it will not continue i read what scientist say about this question that due to the global warming the ice in the two poles is melting and that the percentage of the water will increase from 75% to 97%after 30 years from now that is because of pollution there wont be land to live

Our current understanding of the long-term climate cycles shows that for the past 800,000 years, periods of approximately 100,000 years’ duration, called Ice Ages, have been interrupted by periods of approximately 10,000 years, known as Interglacials. (We are now about 10,500 years into the present Interglacial.)

I dont really know if they have recorded that. I would think that it could go for a long time.

Somewhere around 10 million years. This should be compared to the sun, which will last a total of 10 *billion* years.\n\nHomework?

Well, maybe a little, but if they have it, it is really old and altered.  Below is a link to the geologic map.

With water, 2 or 3 months.\n\nWithout water, 3 days.

That's a lot of questions...\n\nThe land wouldn't be completely covered but the sea level would rise about 200ft so just about all coastal areas would be completely flooded. Obviously everything above that altitude would still be ok but the population would be squeezed into a much smaller area.\n\nMillions of years ago the climate was much warmer and warm ocean currents circled Antarctica which meant that it was totally ice-free and inhabited by rich plant and animal life. At this time the sea level was generally much higher than it is today. At other times, during Ice Ages, much more water was locked up as ice at the Poles and the sea level was much lower than at present.\n\nNo-one knows what is under every part of the Antarctic ice but people have drilled down to the rock in a number of places. Any remains of lost civilisations or other such surface features are likely to have been crushed and ground to dust by the weight of millions of tons of ice. It is known that there are large coal deposits left over from the compacted remains of the plants that once thrived there and there are other mineral deposits as well. At least one prehistoric lake has also been found - frozen solid, of course beneath hundreds of feet of ice and snow.\n\nThe magnetic poles are gradually shifting all the time and many maps such as UK Ordnance Survey maps indicate the rate of variation... on the most recent map I have it states that Magnetic North is moving by 09' East each year. Historically a number of "polar reversals" have been recorded where basically the magnetic north and south poles swap places (282 times in the last 10 million years).  This seems to happen quite suddenly and probably when the gradual shift reaches a critical balance point.\n\nThe main evidence comes from rocks produced from mid-ocean ridges which erupt as liquid magma and rapidly solidify retaining the magnetic field that they were subjected to as they hardened. From this it is possible to see that the North and South Poles have "flipped" and quite regular intervals for millions of years - and in fact in geological terms we seem about due for another such an event.\n\nIt appears that when the poles swap in this way there are often several rapid exchanges before the new arrangement is reached so that the North Pole may go N-S-N-S-N-S in a short space of time before sticking at the new reversed state. This would probably cause all sorts of temporary problems such as disruption to navigation and possibly interference with radio signals and so forth. As some of the rocks of the Earth contain a certain amount of iron which is susceptible to magnetic influences there may also be earthquakes or volcanic eruptions.

There is a very specific answer to this question at the link below.  Just so you know, it will take about 5-7 years.
