    if you drop an activated stargate into an ocean....

    could that drain it onto another planet, effectively flooding it?

    We'd loose alot of water in the process but I don't think water can get through a Stargate for some reason. Remember the Russians sent through that probe to the water planet and when it can back no water came through the gate. Now I know that technically wasn't water but I would've thought it would have the same effect if it didn't then why would the Russians have tried it. But we know lava can get through the gate as it did in SGA when they find the Orion, We'll we saw it impacting the Iris.
    if it wasnt for Carters new plot shield we would be dead

      i thought the water-like aliens chose not to go through the gate....

        The water would go through. And yeah, it would flood the planet, but after 38 minutes.

          No it would not drain the ocean, gate basics one O one. The eventhorzion is able to distinguish between a object say a person or ship and the natrual forces exacted by the water.

          If we opened a gate to a planet with no atmosphere or in space all the atmosphere would be sucked from your location and then delivered to where you dialed. Water and air in this case try to do he same thing.

          So no the ocean would not be sucked in.

            it would. but it depends if the gate stays up or lays down. if it lays down, gravity at work. and to be totally sure it works, toss it in a deep, deep trench. waterpressure+gravity=flooding of the alien world.

              We would still have to pump the water through the gate, if we activate our gate air isn't sucked through it, so water probably wouldn't either.

                we wouldnt. first, the watergate didnt count.
                second, water is heavier as air. third, if it lay down, EH up, the gravity would pull the water through. and toss it in a multi kilometre deep trench, and it would DEFINATELY be pushed through. cause it wouldnt be pulled. unless you dial a black hole. its pushed.

                  get a activated supergate and throw downwards with enough force to push all the water through, that will lower earths oceans considerably forever

                    I think if there was an initial impact force, then some water would go through then as the Stargate would interpret it as exerting enough force to want to go through.
                    However, I think once the Stargate settled and you just had the usual water pressures acting on it, it would adapt and start blocking it.

                        Because it wasn't actually water. It was an alien life form that chose not to enter the event horizon.

                        It's impossible to say what would happen if you dropped and active gate into an ocean. We don't know how the gate would treat water. It's possible it would distinguish between the water and an object that wanted to go through and keep the water out like it does air or atmosphere, or it may allow it to pass. It's a great question that we'll probably never know the answer to.

                          drop it in the marian trench or whatever its called. 11km under the ocean. if THAT wont let water through
