One of the problems that the geologists have is that when you have a huge earthquake, the ocean floor becomes mountains and the mountains become the ocean floor. Why do you think that there are non volcanic mountains along the ocean floor? You can find seashells on top of mountains.
Geologists will tell you, “absolutely not.” First off, “geological columns” are relevant only in sedimentary rock. Secondly, sedimentary rocks frequently exhibit folding and overlays... but you can always tell when folding has resulted in newer rock being tucked under older rock, simply by observing the area around it: you can see the folds from the horizontal striations! And lastly, the sequences are NOT contiguous. Since they are caused by sedimentary deposits, they exist only when the area was where sediment collected.
