Fossil Record Observation

[Subduction Zone]

There is no such reference. I am the first one to say it.

Then your claim is worthless and it is not supported by any evidence.

 

[Queller]

Not by the same process.

Really? What process eroded the sandstone and what process eroded the limestone in this picture?

 

[Queller]

What link do you like to have on the seawater? Would one from the Wikipedia be good enough?

Whatever link provides evidence for your claim that a tectonic rift zone where movement unleashed hundreds of trillions of gallons of water (per hour).

Why would the river "start" to erode faster?

Because the land is uplifted and the water drop is therefore greater.

Which happen to share the property of being able to be worn away by water. In fact, they are slightly water soluble, as are most rocks. There is a reason why water is often called "the universal solvent". Pretty much anything inorganic will dissolve in it. Furthermore, limestone and sandstone are made up of many of the same minerals.

No they are not.

Since the river was uplifted there would have been a greater change in elevation meaning a larger amount of potential energy would be released as it went to the sea. More energy easily turns into more erosional power of the stream.

How would the higher potential energy affect the water flow?

What does the "water drop" mean?

Do you have a reference on what you just said?

Good question.
What if limestone has caves in it?

 

[Paul of Eugene OR]

What does the "water drop" mean?

It means that as the land uplifts, the water has a steeper grade on its way to the sea, which makes it flow faster, and allows it to erode more. At least, that is what happened at the Colorado to form the Grand Canyon.

Is the dip angle on Grand Canyon formations nearly zero? Why would water flow become faster even it is uplifted?

Because it's going downhill. A little thing called 'gravity' has a certain effect on it.

 

[Subduction Zone]

Change in elevation.

If it was (and is) flat, then where is the hill?

 

[juvenissun]

Change in elevation.

How would that make the water flow faster?

A good starting point.

The hill is there when the ground uplifts because of continental drift.
