World used to be covered in water?

I was on a hike and read a plaque that said this area used to be completely covered by water. My question is, where did all that water go? Just absorbed into the ground? Evaporated?

Depends on what area you were at precisely, but the water most likely didn’t go anywhere, it’s the ground that moved. Some areas the ground is lifting up, the others it’s sinking, Earth isn’t so rock solid over geological timeframes.
