Ever seen the sand on the bottom of the ocean, on the ground, or in a river?

In order to understand geology, my professor once told me, that you have to stop thinking about time in terms of a clock. Or a calendar. Or a lifetime.

Thousands of lifetimes will allow you to comprehend why the Oxbow is put into that river over there.

Hundreds of thousands of lifetimes will allow you to start getting the concept of geologic time.

Out of curiosity, the area I referred to above, Scotts Valley, is at 500-600 feet above sea level. We found petrified sharks teeth higher than this, in sand.

I do not believe uplift had anything to do with them being there, as sand would've eroded long ago. That means the ocean once covered this area pretty much as it is.

What are the theories accounting for such a dramatically high sea level rise?

That add perspective... thanks Vermont...
