11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. 12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights (Genesis 7:11-12).
There were several sources of water during the flood. Rain was only one source of water. Water also came up from the ground. There were likely massive tectonic plate movements and upheavals of land. At the time of the flood there was likely one continent. But this was to be altered forever. The landscape of the earth was changed immensely as a result of the global deluge and the amount of water and destruction is impossible to fully quantify.
