Geologic columns...what about the massive canyon on mars---no water!
The size---circumference of the Earth has gotten smaller(although at certain pts. it could have been changing/variable). During collapse large ridges---mountains would protrude upwards! Land wouldn't form evenly...continents would remain at higher levels above water level then plates would dry out---shrink/'sink' producing canyons--basins--ravines...then cooled and hot sediments would form(rise) as the shrink/sink-ing would continue...producing more mountains/hills--'volcanoes'---to fill the receding gaps!
At the Grand Canyon older sedimentary levels are at the top and the fresher/newer ones below...those straight up 'buttes' came out of hole--soft spots in the plates like cake decorations---Ayres Rock like a bubble in a blown tire.
All that erosion/sedimentary crap old age of the Earth is hooie-dooie!
There is not enough dust on the moon to support an old earth dating system!
