Studied those maps in school! What many don’t realize is the earth is a closed loop system and has changed many times. Water gets stuck on land masses in the form of ice and the ocean levels decrease, free it from those land masses and the levels increase. Through out that process it takes sediment with it and deposits it on the ocean floors. If you look a Wikipedia you’ll see no mention of this.

Maybe if I just showed them how my stock tanks on the ranch fill with sediment and have to be dredged out every now and then they’d understand.
