If ALL of the ice on earth melted, would there be any land?

Question

would the water cover every inch of this earth or would only the highest mountain ranges keep dry?

Answer 1

Most of the land would still be here. if it rained all over the planet at the same time it would only cover the planet about a half inch. The planet is just so much bigger than the ice that is around and even bigger are the oceans which would not over flood the planet. Yes, there would be some flooding along the coasts but it would level off and not stay flooded in most areas.  

Answer 2

Probably less than half of the land mass would go underwater, but unfortunately this would include most of the world's populated areas, which tend to be around coastlines and in low lying agricultural regions.

Answer 3

The estimate is roughly 65 meters, or about 200 feet.

This would cover many low-lying areas, particularly in northern Europe, parts of Australia, the state of Florida, and many low-lying coastal areas.

However, most of the land on Earth would remain above water.  While the second link is a bit questionable, it does show a decent estimate of what the Earth's land mass would look like if the water level was 65 meters higher around the entirety of the globe.

Any damage done by the entirety of Earth's ice melting would be worse in other weather conditions, the amount of land lost would be relatively minor, if disastrous in terms of population near the coast.

Answer 4

Lots of the land would remain dry.  Anything higher than about 75 meters (about 250 feet, give or take a bit) would remain out of the oceans.  I don't know the exact percentage, but it is much more than half of the current land area.

Answer 5

Only the highest mountain ranges will keep dry.
