Apr 3, 2019 at 14:11 comment added Loduwijk @SkekTek The more I think the more I want to address the assumptions. ;) Second... Your 5ft/yr assumes that the mountain formed slowly starting from the beginning of the post-diluvian era until modern times. The flood was a very violent event, for the planet too not just the creatures. There are many young-earth scientists who believe that the tectonic plate activity was extremely exaggerated during the flood, and indeed that this was likely a large contributing factor to the flood. So think of plate tectonics on super fast forward, then settling slowly for 1000s of years.
Apr 3, 2019 at 14:01 comment added Loduwijk @SkekTek You are making assumptions which I don't have the space (or desire) to address. I am not saying that you are wrong, only stating what many people who believe in literal biblical accuracy believe. I'll try to fit 1 point in here though: the point of the flood was that the planet's land surface was practically wiped clean and reset (that was the entire point, to cleanse the world), and under that point of view there is no reason to assume that the mountains which exist today existed before the flood.
Apr 2, 2019 at 16:49 comment added Skek Tek @Aaron That's rather silly. Where is the evidence (Biblical or otherwise) of this "lower landscape"? Why didn't the Nepalese people notice that there was a mountain that was growing by 5 feet each year? It would have been a rather noisy, not to mention obvious, affair.
Apr 1, 2019 at 21:44 comment added Loduwijk @SkekTek 30ft/hr assumes covering mount Everest at its current height. This question assumes biblical accuracy. Many people who believe in true biblical accuracy also suggest that the terrain was much different pre-flood, including a lower landscape which would not have required as much water to cover. With that in mind, I would suggest looking at it as a range of possible severities, with your "fire hose in the face" 30ft/hr as the range's max. <1000ft elevation rise, <1ft/hr could also have been the case and would still be a severe storm.
Nov 21, 2018 at 14:07 comment added Skek Tek @chaslyfromUK Also it would have to be raining at a rate of 30 feet (9 meters) per hour. It would have been like trying to breath while a fire hose was shooting you in the face.
Nov 21, 2018 at 13:50 comment added chasly - supports Monica @Skek Tek - Thanks for pointing that out. I think that even swimming animals like hippos, beavers, sea otters and even seals would have a hard time managing a whole year without touching land.
Nov 21, 2018 at 13:46 comment added Skek Tek The RAIN lasted for 40 days and nights. The flood itself lasted an entire year.

Nov 18, 2018 at 22:30 comment added kingledion @chaslyfromUK I say just change it. None of those answers really address your question anyways. In fact, I'm going to nominate some of them for deletion...
Nov 18, 2018 at 22:27 comment added chasly - supports Monica @kingledion - You're probably right but I'm never sure how to do this because people have already answered so it doesn't seem fair to remove parts of the question.
Nov 18, 2018 at 22:11 comment added kingledion This is just so broad. Why don't you focus on just the last of your multiple questions "What land vegetation (and maybe land animals) could have survived 40 days of immersion of the whole of Earth's surface?" That sounds interesting and has the appropriate scope. You can ask about animals in a followup question.
