Mac Arthur Study Bible Commentary:

Genesis 7:20
The highest mountains were at least 22.5 feet under water, so that the ark floated freely above the peaks. This would include the highest peak in that area, Mt Ararat (8:4), which is ca. 17,000 feet high. That depth further proves it was not a local flood, but a global one.

Genesis 11:1-4
New King James Version (NKJV)

The Tower of Babel
11 Now the whole earth had one language and one speech. 2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there. 3 Then they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They had brick for stone, and they had asphalt for mortar. 4 And they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.”

Note:
The Whole earth had one language and one speech.

The remnant of Noah's descendant were commission to be fruitful and multiply; populate the earth (Genesis 9:7)

But they refuses to be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth. 

After the flood as they journeyed from east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and decided to stop and establish a city as a monument to their pride and for their  reputation.

The above verse shows that after the flood, the only remnant are the descendant of Noah. The flood destroy everyone on the surface of the earth except Noah's family. 

=============================================================

Genesis 11:8-9
New King James Version (NKJV)
8 So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they ceased building the city. 9 Therefore its name is called Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth; and from there the Lord scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth.

John MacArthur Commentary
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
11:8 scattered them abroad. God addressed their prideful rebellion at the first act. They had chosen to settle; He forced them to scatter. This account tells how it was that the families of the earth "were separated... everyone according to his language" (Genesis10:5) and "were separated on the earth after the flood (Genesis 10:32)
