The Earth's surface area is about 70% percent covered by water.
More than 95 percent of the water is in the oceans, and they make up less than 1 percent of the Earth's total volume.
If you go by mass instead of volume the fraction is even lower.
Ok, so it's flat and on top of another object, like a board on a wheel! The surface is flat but wobbles a bit.
