1. Rain fell continuously for 40 days and nights. 2. The fountains of the great deep-ocean and land springs-burst forth with a continual flow of water. I am considering whether an earth-gravity change would "uncompress" esp. the deep waters...this makes for a good possibility/explanation.
The Bible does not provide a specific number of years between the Great Flood and the Tower of Babel. According to the Bible, the Great Flood occurred during the time of Noah, while the Tower of Babel incident happened several generations later, during the time of Nimrod.
