Well, technically it really isn't round, either.

More of a bumpy, cracked, squashed spheroid. Like an old orange that has been sat on.

I look at that as very even…..12 miles isn’t much compared on a ball 25,000 miles around!

Just did some rough math, 12 miles topography is much less than a single bump on a basketball, ratio-wise.

Imagine how much deeper it would be if there weren't so many sea sponges holding all that water.

Maybe we should fit all the swamp critters with cement shoes and throw them into the ocean and see if the pile up to the top surface and see? Make sure we pick the deepest part of the ocean, we don't want them uncovered at low tide...

Well 14 miles, give or take (highest to lowest) of an 8000 mile ball, I doubt if you could catch a fingernail if the earth was scaled down to 8 inches.
BTW to he!! with meters and the metric system
