Thank-you!
When the grey rock has all of those fractures and veins
that run through it and underneath it, I don’t see how the
grey rock is very much more resistant to erosion than the
brown rock. It is still going to crumble away.
It is not a homogeneous layer of rock.
Similar to the concrete slabs on the spillway,
they did not “erode” away from the top side,
they washed out from the bottom side and fractured and crumbled away.
