Just to get the figures right: The moon is roughly just a quarter of the
diameter of the earth, or exactly 2% of earths volume.
It is not water but iron that makes most of the earths mass.
All the oceans have just 1/4400 of the total earth mass.
Ian, either you have misunderstood something, or that program brought quite a
lot of nonsense. I think the later, because the next two paragraphs are not
even worth quoting or commenting. Plate tectonics is something completely
different, and so is the formation of the earth.
Just so much: There were continents and plate tectonic long before the earth
cooled down enough to allow icebergs and glaciers to form for the first time.
