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.

Very true, and although my specialty is not geology, I'm fairly confident the magma is also not carbonated.

I'm not a geologist either, but I know there is in fact have a lot of gaz dissolved into magma.

Considering there is far more magma than water on earth, I can confidently say that eath is not flat.

Since I am a pedant, I would agree with you after looking up volcanic gas composition. I love how we can get to the smart stuff via dumb memes.

Besides molten rock, magma may also contain suspended crystals and gas bubbles.
