Richard Cronin discusses the concept of an underground sea:

There are arguments against the premise of subduction, especially to the depths of the Transition Zone (410 to 660 km down).

Rather, water is bound up in hydrous minerals like Ringwoodite. The planet was formed by accretion and compressed. With planetary decompression, Ringwoodite releases its water and transforms into the mineral Bridgemanite which comprises the bulk of the lower mantle. The liberated water serves as the propellant for magma flow. The water also provides a lubricant or slip plane for seismic movement. Large earthquakes of magnitude 8 to 9 Richter occur at depths ranging down 700 km.

Balin King Khazad observes:

The waters of the deep - Genesis flood story.
7:11 When Noah was 600 years old, on the seventeenth day of the second month, all the underground waters erupted from the earth, and the rain fell in mighty torrents from the sky.

Richard Cronin responds:

Balin King Khazad-dum - There is more truth in Genesis than we know.

South of the Dead Sea is a region which is subject to rapid, unpredictable sink holes.

Recall that when Moses descended from the Mount and beheld the Israelites worshipping a gold idol, he cast the tablets into the ground and the ground split open, swallowing up those who had strayed from The True Faith.

The faithful Israelites, saw the earth swallow the unfaithful and said:

" Holy crap, kids !! That sink hole just took my favorite camel ! Let’s ride out into the desert ! It’ll be a lot better than what we have now !!”
