@ #6 layman: My guess is that due to ocean currents sand and sediment probably shift over time to fill in the lower areas and adds a dimension of flatness to the ocean floor that then doesn't reflect the original terrain. I'm not a geologist or an oceanographer, just thinking.

I thought the world's highest mountains were under the seas/oceans - wouldn't the bits where you have no water be way deeper? l always thought it would be a kind of spiky ball - but, hey, l'm no geologist! Looks great! thanks!

A very interesting perspective especially since I am interested in geology and plate techtonics. I think I might like it. Going to try it. Thanks.

It´s an astonishing view. I always wanted to see that surface and it does seem we are living in another planet... Strange new world!!

Thanks.
