The hypsometric curve shows sea level. What would happen if you raised (lowered) sea level by 1 kilometer?
 
  a) Raising and lowering sea level would inundate or expose about the same amount of the Earth's surface.
  b) Raising sea level would inundate most of the continental lowlands, but lowering sea level would expose a much smaller area.
  c) The percentage of land and ocean would remain about the same.
  d) Both raising and lowering would expose more land.
  e) Raising sea level by that amount would cover all land, and lowering by the same amount would expose most of the ocean bottom.
